Hi Thara,
Is there some other way that HAVE_SCHED_THERMAL_PRESSURE can become
set/enabled?  for example, is it selected by any other options?

The Kconfig symbols that begin with HAVE_ are usually something that
are platform-specific and are usually set (selected) by other options,
or they are "default y".

In init/Kconfig, I see 15 other HAVE_ Kconfig symbols,
and none of them have user prompt strings.  They are either selected
elsewhere or set inside their Kconfig block.

Maybe you just want to rename the Kconfig symbol so that it does not
being with HAVE_.
