FRAME_POINTER is true doesn't mean the other dependencies are true. That is why I said it is equivalent to just "DEBUG_KERNEL && LOCK_DEBUGGING_SUPPORT". IOW, FRAME_POINTER will play no part here.

Hm, as I review that commit, I have to wonder if the previous 'select'
was correct (if we disregard the Kconfig warning). If so, then
FRAME_POINTER is still wanted/needed for some arch-es.
