But we can't just switch to depend in i915, because it creates circular dependencies across the board, and to fix that we end up with a patch I proposed about six months ago [1]. See the discussion there, and also [2]. I think switching from select to depend on is the technically right fix, but I don't have the time to fight this across all affected subsystems. BR, Jani.
