As to that INET vs NET dependency - is it possible that the network drivers really just need NET, but the iSCSI ones need INET? In which case the only common dependency would be PCI - certainly not worth a custom helper option.
I see about a dozen network drivers that depend on INET. These may be the result of cut&paste from other drivers' Kconfig entries rather than actual dependencies. Also some of these drivers select or selected in the past INET_LRO and that may have something to do with their INET dependency, not sure.
Reading the commit message that introduced CHELSIO_T3_DEPENDS, it talks of hidden dependencies that select does not see. I am not sure which exactly but since it's been a few years since that commit I'll try to see what the situation is today without the *_DEPENDS symbols and let you know.
