If .config has CONFIG_SUNRPC_GSS=y, CONFIG_SUNRPC_GSS is set, but CONFIG_SUNRPC_GSS_MODULE is not. If .config has CONFIG_SUNRPC_GSS=m, CONFIG_SUNRPC_GSS_MODULE is set, but CONFIG_SUNRPC_GSS is not. As Anna said these days we have the IS_ENABLED helper to mostly hide this. I have no idea if this is documented anywhere.
