I'm not sure I'd call it "dead" but you're right, it's not
necessary because it already depends on that symbol.

Yeah that might be better.  I'd like to eventually include
COMPILE_TEST as well, and that might need the "if" on the
default.  I'll find out whenever I test that.

This GPIO feature should still be a module even if
TOSHIBA_TC956X_PCI is y, because it's not always
necessary to enable the GPIO driver (depending on
how devicetree defines the PHY resets).

So:  In drivers/gpio/Kconfig it will be "default m", and
for drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/Kconfig it will be
default TOSHIBA_TC956X_PCI (at least for now).

Thanks a lot for the suggestion.
