Hmm ... I am not really sure, isn't this a bug in Kconfig?

What we have right now:

- CONFIG_HID selects all the individual quirk-drivers automatically
- the individual quirk drivers have dependency on CONFIG_USB_HID

Therefore I'd expect when CONFIG_HID is selected and CONFIG_USB_HID
deselected the individual drivers not to get built (due to their
dependency on unset option).

But currently what happens is when I de-select CONFIG_USB_HID in
menuconfig, the configuration options for individual drivers vanish from
the menuconfig menu (which is expected, they depend on unset option), but
after saving .config they are still there. Is this how it is expected to
behave? (i.e. select having preference over dependency).

Thanks,
