Ack for Tom's change, but I am puzzled by your request to move it out
of the existing ifdev. I would think that we'd want the two options to
appear next to each other when running 'menuconfig'.

While I admit that adding SPL- and perhaps TPL- prefixed symbols is a
bit messy, it seems to be how it has been done elsewhere. For example
drivers/clk/Kconfig has quite a few such cases.
