That won't quite work ... "at least one" includes "two"
(i.e. a PCI card in little-endian, a native controller
in big-endian).  Real-world systems need such configs,
or so I'm told, and that's why their supported.

Is there maybe a way to force Kconfig to just reject
such illegal configs -- neither option set -- rather
than trying some how to fix it?

Or maybe ... if neither one is set, have the header
force both on, and issue a warning.
