I didn't really look at this one all that much, but when I face problems with kconfig, it's almost invariably because of overuse of select. Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt says, "In general use select only for non-visible symbols (no prompts anywhere) and for symbols with no dependencies." People violate this all the time because it's convenient. If they depended, they'd have to enable all deps to even see their config. I wish kconfig would warn about incorrect use of select... though I guess that would produce a wall of warnings. Additionally, it really should be easier to find and enable unmet dependencies in menuconfig. Someone(tm) has a lot of work to do...
