CONFIG_SPI is a boolean (y or empty). The both values make senses.

CONFIG_MMC is a tristate (y, m or empty). The substitution above
ensure that bus_sdio.o will included in wfx.ko if CONFIG_MMC is 'm'
("wfx-$(CONFIG_MMC) += bus_sdio.o" wouldn't make the job).

You may want to know what it happens if CONFIG_MMC=m while CONFIG_WFX=y.
This line in Kconfig prevents to compile wfx statically if MMC is a
module:
       depends on MMC || !MMC # do not allow WFX=y if MMC=m
