Milton already commented on this being wrong. I think what you want
is
	depends on PROFILING && (SPU_FS = n || SPU_FS)

that should make sure that when SPU_FS=y that OPROFILE can not be 'm'.
The above suggestion would not work if SPU_FS is not defined, since the entire config option is ignored if an undefined symbol is used. So, here's what I propose instead: - Leave the existing 'config OPROFILE' unchanged from its current form in mainline (shown below)
   - Add the new 'config OPROFILE_CELL' (shown below)
- In arch/powerpc/configs/cell-defconfig, set CONFIG_OPROFILE=m, to correspond to setting for CONFIG_SPU_FS
   - In arch/powerpc/oprofile/Makefile, do the following:
               oprofile-$(CONFIG_OPROFILE_CELL) += op_model_cell.o \
cell/spu_profiler.o cell/vma_map.o cell/spu_task_sync.o

===========
config OPROFILE
       tristate "OProfile system profiling (EXPERIMENTAL)"

       help
         OProfile is a profiling system capable of profiling the
         whole system, include the kernel, kernel modules, libraries,
         and applications.

         If unsure, say N.

config OPROFILE_CELL
       bool "OProfile for Cell Broadband Engine"
       depends on OPROFILE && SPU_FS
default y if ((SPU_FS = y && OPROFILE = y) || (SPU_FS = m && OPROFILE = m))
       help
         Profiling of Cell BE SPUs requires special support enabled
         by this option.  Both SPU_FS and OPROFILE options must be
         set 'y' or both be set 'm'.
=============

Can anyone see a problem with any of this . . . or perhaps a suggestion of a better way?

Thanks.
