No, I don't like the way this clutters menuconfig. The above would make
this one of the longest entries and for very little gain.

We don't spell out NVMe or SPI either and I think the help text below
is clear enough as anyone not yet familiar with the concept of "GNSS
receivers" is sure to at least have heard of "GPS receivers" (which we
also don't spell out).
