Well, you could do a makefile-level dependency i.e.:

ifeq ($(CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG), y)
obj-$(CONFIG_AMD_IOMMU) += amd_iommu_debugfs.o
obj-$(CONFIG_BLAH_IOMMU) += blah_iommu_debugfs.o
...
endif

Or alternatively have an intermediate silent Kconfig option:

config AMD_IOMMU_DEBUG
	def_bool y
	depends on AMD_IOMMU && IOMMU_DEBUG

The makefile option is arguably ugly, but does at least scale better ;)
