I think instead of CONFIG_KEYS I should use 
CONFIG_ASYMMETRIC_PUBLIC_KEY_SUBTYPE for ima_asymmetric_keys.c since 
this config is enabled only when both CONFIG_ASYMMETRIC_KEY_TYPE and 
CONFIG_KEYS are enabled.

Please see below taken from "crypto/asymmetric_keys/Kconfig"

# SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0
menuconfig ASYMMETRIC_KEY_TYPE
         bool "Asymmetric (public-key cryptographic) key type"
         depends on KEYS
         help
           This option provides support for a key type that holds the 
data for
           the asymmetric keys used for public key cryptographic 
operations such
           as encryption, decryption, signature generation and signature
           verification.

if ASYMMETRIC_KEY_TYPE

config ASYMMETRIC_PUBLIC_KEY_SUBTYPE
         tristate "Asymmetric public-key crypto algorithm subtype"

endif # ASYMMETRIC_KEY_TYPE
