Is there a way to generate (in Kconfig language) the boolean
CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT based on whether CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE
== "" or != "" ? I tried to muck around with that last night but
couldn't get it to work. I.e., just present the ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE
config symbol to the user and then generate the ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT bool
based on the string value.

Something following this example?

config STRING
string
prompt "What string"
default ""

config STRING_IS_NOT_EMPTY
bool
default STRING != ""


But that seems too easy - were you trying to do something
more complex than this?

Yes, that's almost what I had. I used def_bool n on the second config symbol,
but the bool value never changed when I changed the string value.
I'll be glad to look at it again though.
