I'm trying to enable the max98357a codec in sound/soc/codecs.

In the Kconfig file it is listed with an empty tristate so it doesn't show up when I do a make menu config.

That's usually a result of the variable being enabled by a 'select' elsewhere.

How can I enable it without adding a description to the tristate?

Enable something that does a 'select'. Look in a 'git grep MAX98357A' or "find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs grep MAX98357A' . It looks like that part is mostly used for some arm64 (it's in the defconfig) and some Intel SoC boards. Look at sound/soc/intel/boards/Kconfig.
