This does not scale tbh.

I'd suggest to add additional patch before adding the new key type,
which clears this up a little bit.

First:

config HAVE_TRUSTED_KEYS
	bool

And then following this pattern to all trusted key types:

config TRUSTED_KEYS_DCP
	bool "DCP-based trusted keys"
	depends on CRYPTO_DEV_MXS_DCP >= TRUSTED_KEYS
	default y
	select HAVE_TRUSTED_KEYS
	help
	  Enable use of NXP's DCP (Data Co-Processor) as trusted key backend.

And finally:

if !HAVE_TRUSTED_KEYS
	comment "No trust source selected!"
endif
