So in short OpenWrt did modify Kconfig to have a prompt, yet forgot to then also add the then-necessary dependency information: [[ Johannes Berg originally replied: | Well, then your 'make menuconfig' is somehow broken - on mainline | options that have no prompt are not shown, and indeed 'make menuconfig' | on the current mainline kernel confirms that those options are not | possible to select manually. ]] I'll try to send a repair patch (add dependency) for these various OpenWrt kernel patch files soon, unless this is not the way to go...
