Thanks. The patch sha 'f29c79906064 ("lib/Kconfig.debug: enable
RUNTIME_TESTING_MENU")' can resolve the make kselftest-merge
on default situation, but I think the kselftest-merge should resolve
the dependencies
without the prerequisite, it should enable the 'RUNTIME_TESTING_MENU'
when merging
the config of some selftests if RUNTIME_TESTING_MENU is not set.
