Is there any reason why that is so? Looking at the driver it seems like
it should be easy to turn it into a module. I know that Jingoo (Cc'ed)
has been working on the driver and I've asked him the same question
already.

Anyway I don't want to force the issue, I just think you should consider
it.

If you convert this to bool anyway, then maybe you can still use
def_bool:

config PWM_SAMSUNG
prompt "SAMSUNG PWM support" if PLAT_SAMSUNG
def_bool PLAT_SAMSUNG

Any particular reason why you want "SAMSUNG" capitalized?
