Hi Asuna!

I'm under the impression that the `!RUST ||` guard here doesn't
actually prevent the `$(bindgen-backend-option,...)` call from being
executed. `$(...)` shell expansions should happen during the textual
substitution phase, before symbol dependency evaluation occurs, check
documentation at kconfig-macro-language.rst lines 228-229.

I did this test:
  $ cat /tmp/fake_bindgen
    #!/bin/bash
    echo "[BINDGEN INVOKED] $(date '+%H:%M:%S') args: $@" >> /tmp/bindgen_calls.log
    # Call real bindgen
    exec /home/charmitro/.cargo/bin/bindgen "$@"

  $ make ARCH=riscv CROSS_COMPILE=riscv64-linux-gnu- BINDGEN=/tmp/fake_bindgen defconfig
    HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
    ...
  *** Default configuration is based on 'defconfig'
  #
  # configuration written to .config
  #

  $ linux git:(master) rg CONFIG_RUST .config
  ...
  283:# CONFIG_RUST is not set
  ...

So, CONFIG_RUST not set, yet bindgen was invoked. Not sure if that is
intentional though.
