The final kconfig should look like this:

config NET_DSA_MT7530
	tristate "MediaTek MT7530 and MT7531 Ethernet switch support"
	select NET_DSA_TAG_MTK
	select MEDIATEK_GE_PHY
	select PCS_MTK_LYNXI
	imply NET_DSA_MT7530_MDIO
	imply NET_DSA_MT7530_MMIO
	help
	  This enables support for the MediaTek MT7530 and MT7531 Ethernet
	  switch chips. Multi-chip module MT7530 in MT7621AT, MT7621DAT,
	  MT7621ST and MT7623AI SoCs, and built-in switch in MT7688 SoC is
	  supported.

config NET_DSA_MT7530_MDIO
	tristate "MediaTek MT7530 MDIO interface driver"
	default NET_DSA_MT7530
	depends on NET_DSA_MT7530
	help
	  This enables support for the MediaTek MT7530 switch chips which are
	  connected via MDIO.

config NET_DSA_MT7530_MMIO
	tristate "MediaTek MT7530 MMIO interface driver"
	depends on HAS_IOMEM
	depends on NET_DSA_MT7530
	help
	  This enables support for the MediaTek MT7530 switch chips which are
	  connected via MMIO.

You should also change MODULE_DESCRIPTION for both drivers to something
like "Driver for MediaTek MT7530 ethernet switches connected via MMIO
interface".
