Whoops, last line was missed by copy&paste. It meant

config PCI_LABEL
bool
select NLS
depends on (DMI || ACPI)
default y

And no, it shouldn't be user-changeable (it would be better to
invisible in .config. At make *config, already invisible.). Because
PCI_LABEL is not user config and not used in Makefile.

And yeah, if you like def_bool

config PCI_LABEL
def_bool y if (DMI || ACPI)
select NLS

I guess it would work (it should be just syntax sugar and equivalent).

Thanks.
