I'd call it COMPAT_BINFMT_ELF, for consistency with the file name.
Also, the definition and the depends are redundant if you expect the
option to be autoselected. You can do either of

config COMPAT_BINFMT_ELF
	bool

or 

config COMPAT_BINFMT_ELF
	def_bool y
	depends on COMPAT

The second option makes sense at the point where all architectures with
compat code are using the same compat_binfmt_elf code.
