I think that this is what Andrew would call a cockup, or at least I would.

These errors shouldn't be possible since net/mac80211/Kconfig says:

config MAC80211_LEDS
	bool "Enable LED triggers"
	depends on MAC80211
	depends on LEDS_CLASS
	select LEDS_TRIGGERS



Preferably arch/cris/Kconfig would source drivers/Kconfig instead of sourcing
individual drivers/foobar/Kconfig.

Second option is for arch/cris/Kconfig to source drivers/leds/Kconfig
unless there is some reason to avoid this (?).

Or we should just prevent this particular driver from being built,
but that's the least desirable choice here.
