Gratuitous nitpick:
Can this option be made non-visible (or hidden behind CONFIG_EMBEDDED)?

Maybe you copied the pattern of the thermal sysfs interface - but the
ACPI thermal driver is useful to keep your computer cool even without
the sysfs interface. ALS drivers are useless without the sysfs
interface, no?
