I disagree. As you go through menuconfig and you encounter this option
and you have the hardware and you want to enable it, you should be able
to do so. Otherwise you enable bunch of functionality, then go back,
see what new options appeared, enable them, go back, see if any more new
options appeared, and so on.

What exactly prompted this change?
