The prompt of SOC_RENESAS depends on
COMPILE_TEST && !ARCH_RENESAS.
Hence, it is hidden by default.

Pressing (1) navigated to the nearest parent menu.

Setting COMPILE_TEST=y and ARCH_RENESAS=n made it visible.

All look quite normal to me.



 Symbol: SOC_RENESAS [=y]
 Type  : bool
 Defined at drivers/soc/renesas/Kconfig:2
   Prompt: Renesas SoC driver support
   Visible if: COMPILE_TEST [=n] && !ARCH_RENESAS [=y]
   Location:
     -> Device Drivers
 (1)   -> SOC (System On Chip) specific Drivers
         -> Renesas SoC driver support (SOC_RENESAS [=y])
 Selects: GPIOLIB [=y] && PINCTRL [=y] && SOC_BUS [=y]
