That version looks fine as well. I think it's better to be a little
more explicit as I was, but either way seems fine.

You can also achieve the same thing in yet another way using Makefile
syntax instead of cpp or Kconfig:

ifdef CONFIG_MLX5_CORE_EN
mlx5_core-y += wq.o eswitch.o \
               en_main.o en_fs.o en_ethtool.o en_tx.o en_rx.o \
               en_txrx.o en_clock.o vxlan.o en_tc.o
               en_txrx.o en_clock.o vxlan.o en_tc.o en_arfs.o

mlx5_core-$(CONFIG_RFS_ACCEL) += en_arfs.o
endif

If you prefer Maor's version, feel free to add
