If I understand it correctly this makes possible to override the type of 
choice symbol, so this loop should only be done if the type is not 
S_UNKNOWN.

Hmm, if you want to do it this way, I'd prefer you add a parentdep_bool 
and simply do:

	dep = (menu->sym && menu->sym->type != S_TRISTATE) ? 
		parentdep_bool : parentdep;

Otherwise it looks ok.
