Hi Neil,
The problem fixed in that linked patch (3c3384050d68) is about fixing
undefined reference errors with specific .config setups - similar to
this patch.
Since we're only adding a 'select' and not removing anything I don't see
how it could cause new errors like that, and it does fix the one I'm
describing.
And also I checked again and I don't see any circular dependencies
(something that was also mentioned in the linked patch), so apart from
what I mentioned with that I'm not too familiar when 'select' should be
used and when 'depend' should be used, it's good from my perspective.
