6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 9ee62c33c0fe017ee02501a877f6f562363122fa upstream.
Rework CONFIG_KVM_X86's dependency to only check if KVM_INTEL or KVM_AMD
is selected, i.e. not 'n'. Having KVM_X86 depend directly on the vendor
modules results in KVM_X86 being set to 'm' if at least one of KVM_INTEL
or KVM_AMD is enabled, but neither is 'y', regardless of the value of KVM
itself.
The documentation for def_tristate doesn't explicitly state that this is
the intended behavior, but it does clearly state that the "if" section is
parsed as a dependency, i.e. the behavior is consistent with how tristate
dependencies are handled in general.
Optionally dependencies for this default value can be added with "if".
