We use  select extensively on MIPS but select is dangerous and you stepped
into its trap.  When SUSPEND is enabled by a user in
kernel/power/Kconfig it can only be choosen if PM is enabled.  By
"select SUSPEND" this dependency so now it is possible to have a kernel
where SUSPEND is enabled without PM which won't work.
