An alternative (more understandable?):

diff --git i/drivers/staging/wfx/Kconfig w/drivers/staging/wfx/Kconfig
index 9b8a1c7a9e90..83ee4d0ca8c6 100644
--- i/drivers/staging/wfx/Kconfig

 config WFX
        tristate "Silicon Labs wireless chips WF200 and further"
        depends on MAC80211
+       depends on MMC || !MMC # do not allow WFX=y if MMC=m
        depends on (SPI || MMC)
        help
          This is a driver for Silicons Labs WFxxx series (WF200 and further)
