Note, Masahiro suggested to have ':' after first expression [1]:
Selected by:
[y]: EEPROM_AT24 [=y] && I2C [=y] && SYSFS [=y]
[ ]: NET_DSA_SMSC_LAN9303_I2C [=n] && NETDEVICES [=y] &&
HAVE_NET_DSA [=y] && NET_DSA [=n] && I2C [=y]
...
I think it's better, it's clearer that the expression is for whole line.
Kind regards,
Petr
