Turns out it was a typo in the Kconfig file that took a while to track
down. I don't think that Kconfig has an option to detect errors like
this, which is pretty annoying.
>From boards/Kconfig:
config ARCH_BOARD_STM32_THING_PLUS
bool "SparkFun STM32 Thing Plus board"
depends on CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_STM32F405RG <---- THIS IS WRONG.
DON'T PUT CONFIG_ IN FRONT OF YOUR CONFIG OPTIONS! It will not check
the option correctly if it starts with CONFIG_
select ARCH_HAVE_LEDS
