When I first wrote this I based the work in other Kconfig in net/ (as it was my very first time doing such kind of changes in a Kconfig). For example, net/decnet/ and net/ax25/ do exactly the same as the Bluetooth Kconfig. "bool" depending on "tristate" and build both together. But doing another look after your report there is some places where this is done a bit different, net/ipv6 and net/mac80211 are examples. Then I changed to this new approach to remove the direct dependency from BT_L2CAP and BT_SCO. Patch follows this e-mail. That point me out that we may have other subsystems doing it wrong and we have to fix this. -- Gustavo F.
