In this case i do think that the "if UNSUPPORTED" per entry is important
so that it clear per config entry which ones are unsupported.

So if other arm maintainers agree with your point, i would remove the
"visibility" and keep an empty menu.
But my vote is to keep both.

@julien and Stefano: Any view on that ?

Cheers
Bertrand
