With some comments from other thread,
What about this?

+menu "ARMv9.6 architectural features"
+
+config ARM64_LSUI
+       bool "Support Unprivileged Load Store Instructions (LSUI)"
+       default y
+       depends on AS_HAS_LSUI && !CPU_BIG_ENDIAN
+       help
+         The Unprivileged Load Store Instructions (LSUI) provides
+         variants load/store instructions that access user-space memory
+         from the kernel without clearing PSTATE.PAN bit.
+
+         This feature is supported by LLVM 20+ and binutils 2.45+.
+
+endmenu # "ARMv9.6 architectural feature"
+
 config AS_HAS_LSUI
        def_bool $(as-instr,.arch_extension lsui)
-       help
-         Supported by LLVM 20+ and binutils 2.45+.
