Wireguard is not in the kernel (yet) and uses these symbols. (It is IS_ENABLED so doesn't need it, but I think it is reasonable) I think these enable/disable symbols should not be marked GPL-only.

There is no hardware like that, none supported anyway. It does not make
very much sense, and it cannot happen with VSX, so no hardware like it
will ever show up most likely.
It is much simpler to just make a Kconfig dependency (or a select) between
the symbols than to have to add code like this patch.
