So what should i keep or remove here ?

My understanding so far was that "visibility" merely hides all prompts
underneath (but then I use the command line version of the tool, not
menuconfig), so it largely is shorthand for adding "if" to all enclosed
prompts. Therefore I think all the "if UNSUPPORTED" are redundant and
could be dropped. But then I'm also working from the understanding that
"depends on" would behave somewhat differently ...

If that is ok with you I would rather keep them so that making one of them
SUPPORTED one day will not end up in wrongly making the other one
supported to. The visible if i added was more to "beautify" a bit when
unsupported is not selected so that we do not have an empty menu.

You're the maintainer, so you judge what is best. If I was maintainer, the
primary thing I would ask for is that there be no redundancy. IOW here
either no "if"s or no "visibility".

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 ?

I agree with keeping both.

Cheers,
