Yes, since there's no prompt for VHOST_IOTLB which means, if there's no
other symbol that select VHOST_IOTLB, you can't enable MLX5 at all.

See kconfig-language.rst:


    In general use select only for non-visible symbols
    (no prompts anywhere) and for symbols with no dependencies.
    That will limit the usefulness but on the other hand avoid
    the illegal configurations all over.

Thanks
