Where can I find this specific branch?

My patch created an additional dependency like:
  menu ACPI
    ...
    depends on IA64 || X86 || (ARM64 && EFI)

> arch/x86/Kconfig:1920:	symbol EFI depends on ACPI

So I don't understand why this change makes a warning on x86_64 build.
Is this a real recursive dependency?
