This is another case where I think it is actually needed.

Heinrich makes the point that this code cannot be used in SPL. It is
precisely because of that that we need an SPL version of the config.
Otherwise it will be enabled everywhere. The fact that it currently
works is due to CONFIG_IS_ENABLED() not caring whether the Kconfig
options it is checking are present or not. That needs to change with
split config.
