Is this really the reason for the build error? I doubt it.

Also, does the code in fact support only FX2, neither older chips nor
newer FX3?

If only FX2 then I suggest mentioning that also in the immediately
user-visible option description, not only in the help.

If FX is also supported then perhaps still rename the option,
although I think renaming is unrelated to the build problems.

I think it makes sense to call the option after the "highest"
supported chip.
