I don't know kbuild that well, but would this cover LEDS_CLASS=n with IGC=m?

There are Similar checks in the file [1][2] that would transpose to
 depends on IGC && LEDS_CLASS && !(IGC=y && LEDS_CLASS=m)

which should cover that and keep the checks in the file consistent. IMO 
a little more readable as well.

Thanks,
Tony
