USB_F_9PFS cannot be selected directly in menuconfig so this allows
configuring the build option -- that appears to be how the other usb
gadgets are configured so I assume it's done that way for consistency
more than out of necessity (I don't see a problem in making the build
system use USB_CONFIGFS_F_9PFS directly, it'd just be different from the
rest)
