Here are my experiments:

Current net-next:
-----------------
if !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ETHERNET) && !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FDDI)

drivers/s390/net/KConfig:
config LCS
	def_tristate m
	depends on CCW && NETDEVICES && (ETHERNET || FDDI)

.config:
ETHERNET  |  FDDI | LCS choices | LCS | compile
--------------------------------------------------------
n		m	m,n	  m	success (failed before Randy's fix)
y		m	y,m,n	  m	success (failed before Randy's fix)
y		m		  y	fails: undefined reference to `fddi_type_trans'


Simon's proposal:
-----------------
        depends on CCW && NETDEVICES && (ETHERNET || FDDI)
+       depends on FDDI=y || FDDI=n

ETHERNET  |  FDDI | LCS choices | LCS | compile
--------------------------------------------------------
n		m	-
y		m	-
y		m	-
y		n	y,m,n	  y	success
y		n	y,m,n	  m	success
y		y	y,m,n	  m	success


Alexandra's proposal:
---------------------
        depends on CCW && NETDEVICES && (ETHERNET || FDDI)
+       depends on FDDI || FDDI=n

ETHERNET  |  FDDI | LCS choices | LCS | compile
--------------------------------------------------------
n		m	m,n	  m	success
y		m	m,n	  m	success
y		n	y,m,n	  y	success
y		n	y,m,n	  m	success
y		y	y,m,n	  m	success

-----------------------------------------------------------

Seems that 
	A[tristate] depends on B[tristate]
means that A cannot be 'higher' than B.
Meaning, if B=n -> A= must be n
	if B=m -> A can be m or n
	if B=y -> A can be y or m or n

Although I did not find documentation confirming that.


@Randy, do you want give a v2 a try with that?

I guess then it is safe to delete from drivers/s390/net/lcs.c
-#if !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ETHERNET) && !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FDDI)
-#error Cannot compile lcs.c without some net devices switched on.
-#endif
