Subject: your old menuconfig patch series, and select

Jan,

In your menuconfig patch series to convert menu into menuconfig,
you used "if <new menuconfig symbol" quite often.

That causes serious issues with "select".  E.g. currently "select
LEDS_CLASS" does not work, because it is inside a "if NEW_LEDS".

Of course, not much stuff is the target of "select", but classes and
their ilk often are.

What's the best solution for this?  Drop the "if <menuconfig symbol>"
and add lots of "depends on <menuconfig symbol>"?  Or hunt down every
symbol selected inside an if and add the required select for the
menuconfig symbol?
