 I should have noticed this in the first iteration, but why do we need an
additional config option for this? We could just rename _KCONFIG_FILE to
_KCONFIG_FILES and update the help texts to explain that the files may consist
of fragments.

 The fragments could also be in-tree, in theory.

 Not that it matters in practice because it is only relevant for the .config
dependency.

 So this could be
	$$(if $$(word 2,$$($(2)_KCONFIG_FILES)), \
