I see, "follows" the other way around. That fixes the breakage but I guess it's not exactly what the people doing make menuconfig want. Though in absence of the following it would IMHO make sense anyway.

I fear it too but perhaps there is some sane way? I don't know, asking (recursively?) interactively?
Like: QWERTY requires at least one, select (Y/M): - ARCH_X86 && NET_ETHERNET, or - USB4_0 && !SMP, or - XXX
then: NET_ETHERNET requires at lest one, select (Y/M): - PCI128 - ISA256
then (info): PCI128 requires PCI and it's selected automatically.
I don't know. It could be useful even with a single dependency when configuring as the module, the user could select Y or M for dependency interactively (people may want to have E1000E=m and TULIP=m but MII=y).
Not sure if still on the same planet, though :-) -- Krzysztof Halasa
