In some cases you don't want to automatically enable features but rather
fix the Kconfig file. For example, with the select dependencies patch
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/9/16/413) on ARMv7 RealView I get the
following:

warning: (CPU_V7 && !ARCH_OMAP2 || CPU_MMP2 && ARCH_MMP) selects
CPU_32v6K which has unmet direct dependencies (CPU_V6)

Unless I misunderstand this, a solver may try to select CPU_V6 which I
don't want to. The solution is to fix Kconfig as below:

    Mark CPU_32v6K as depended on CPU_V7
