As a rule, if you are adding a new config file where one does not exists
anywhere in the tree, it will not do what you want.  Configs have to be set
one way or the other, they cannot be undefined.  That brings us to 2 points.

First, Michael seems right, you are likely looking for CONFIG_LAN743X "Support
for the Microchip LAN743x PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet chip" as I do  not see
a MICROCHIP_LAN_743X defined anywhere in tree.

Second, moving the file from fedora to common will not actually change
anything by itself.  This is defined in Fedora because all of the dependencies
are met. If the dependencies were met for RHEL, there would already exist a
`redhat/configs/rhel/generic/CONFIG_LAN743X` file with it turned off. In this
case, CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_MICROCHIP is turned off for RHEL, and must be enabled
before you can also turn on  CONFIG_LAN743X.  As there are many other config
options gated behind CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_MICROCHIP, they will all need to be set
one way or the other for RHEL to make things work. You should be able to run
`make dist-configs-check` error free for the change to be valid.
