The versions look correct to me. I see the LLVM zicbom commit [1] in
llvmorg-15.0.0 and I see the binutils zicbom commit [2] in
binutils-2_39.

FWIW, if we are adding explicit tool versions to the Kconfig, could you
not also drop the cc-option checks? Typically, cc-option is only used
when dynamically checking for a feature, in lieu of statically checking
a version. No strong opinion though.
