I think people might be reading differences into 'if' and 'depends on'
that aren't there, like maybe 'if' being needed to "hide" a symbol,
while 'depends on' just adds a dependency.
There are no differences between 'if' and 'depends on'. 'if' is just a
shorthand for 'depends on'. They work the same when it comes to creating
implicit menus too.
The way symbols get "hidden" is through their dependencies not being
satisfied ('if'/'depends on' get copied up as a dependency on the
prompt).
Since 'if' and 'depends on' are the same, an 'if' with just a single
symbol in it can be replaced with a 'depends on'. IMO, it's best to
avoid 'if' there as a style choice too, because it confuses people into
thinking there's deep Kconfig magic going on that requires 'if'.
Going for 'depends on' can also remove some nested 'if's, which
generates nicer symbol information and docs, because nested 'if's really
are so simple/dumb that they just add the dependencies from both 'if's
to all symbols within.
Replace a bunch of single-symbol 'if's with 'depends on' to despam the
Kconfig files a bit and make it clearer how things work. Also do some
other minor related dependency refactoring.
The replacement isn't complete. Will fix up the rest later. Splitting it
a bit to make it more manageable.
(Everything above is true for choices, menus, and comments as well.)
Detected by tweaking the Kconfiglib parsing code. It's impossible to
detect after parsing, because 'if' turns into 'depends on'.

Use this short header style in all Kconfig files:
# <description>
# <copyright>
# <license>
...
Also change all <description>s from
# Kconfig[.extension] - Foo-related options
to just
# Foo-related options
It's clear enough that it's about Kconfig.
The <description> cleanup was done with this command, along with some
manual cleanup (big letter at the start, etc.)

Most of these are from source'ing a file within an 'if PINMUX', and then
adding another 'depends on PINMUX' within it.
'if FOO' is just shorthand for adding 'depends on FOO' to each item
within the 'if'. There are no "conditional includes" in Kconfig, so
'if FOO' has no special meaning around a 'source'. Conditional includes
wouldn't be possible, because an 'if' condition could include (directly
or indirectly) forward references to symbols not defined yet.
Tip: When adding a symbol, check its dependencies in the menuconfig
('ninja menuconfig', then / to jump to the symbol). The menuconfig also
shows how the file with the symbol got included, so if you see
duplicated dependencies, it's easy to hunt down where they come from.

FE310 is the name of one SoC out of a range of products in the SiFive
Freedom line. The FE310 SoC port in Zephyr is compatible with all of
these products, so rename the SoC to SiFive Freedom
