The 'if !SMP' here is unneeded, you're already in a 'if !SMP' if-block.

That's because the 'if' condition is added to the dependency list of the
symbol(s) that is(are) enclosed in the if.
'if' in Kconfig behaves the same way as an 'if' in C. What you expected
(I believe) was the behaviour of '#ifdef', which is not the case. From
Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt:
---8<---
if:
"if" <expr>
<if block>
"endif"
This defines an if block. The dependency expression <expr> is appended
to all enclosed menu entries.
---8<---
There's no equivlaent to '#ifdef' in Kconfig.
I'll see if I can come up with a meaningfull construct that fixes your
use-case. Don't hold your breath, though! ;-)

Yann E. MORIN.
