The hardware generation that used OSX devices (OSA-Express for zBX)
is obsolete now. Therefore, IBM pulls the support from all Linux distros
going forward.
Hence the deactivation of the CONFIG_QETH_OSX kernel config option
for jammy and onwards.

Instead of removing the policy I suggest setting it to 'n' or '-' and 
adding a note so that we remember _why_ that config option was disabled.

I'll upload a v2 soon that switches the option to 'n' and leaves a note.
Like this:
-CONFIG_QETH_OSX                                 policy<{'s390x': 'y'}>
+CONFIG_QETH_OSX                                 policy<{'s390x': 'n'}>
+#
+CONFIG_QETH_OSX                                 note<LP#1959890>
