If they are always the same value, there is no need to have two symbols
in the first place.

However, given the original problem from this thread, if what you meant
was to have the second symbol either 'n' or the same as the first symbol,
ie. the following table:

    A:  n   m   m   y   y
    B:  n   n   m   n   y

Then the closest I came up with is:

    config MODULES
        bool "Modules"
    
    config A
        tristate "A"
    
    config B_dummy
        bool "B"
        depends on A
    
    config B
        tristate
        default m if A=m && B_dummy
        default y if A=y && B_dummy

where B_dummy is not used outside of Kconfig, and only A and B are the
symbols of interest (eg. to build the drivers).

Otherwise, I was not able to get the desired behviour with only the A
and B symbols.
