I tend towards *not* making it depend on CONFIG_APPLE_GMUX:

* The gpu-switch utility Orlando linked to doesn't use the apple-gmux
  driver.  (It changes EFI variables that influence to which GPU the
  EFI driver will switch on next reboot.)

* apple_set_os() has side effects beyond exposing the iGPU (such as
  switching the keyboard+trackpad access method to SPI instead of USB).
  If there are issues, they will be harder to debug if their occurrence
  depends on a Kconfig option.
