You don't have to, because this simply is no infrastructure bug...
Don't blame Kconfig for abusing select for something it was never
intendend for. There is no bug!
In this case there is now a mixture of depends and selects on leds. First
decide whether led support should be automatically included or the driver
is only available when led support is enabled. In the first case it's
probably better to create LEDS_SUPPORT, which then again selects
everything necessary.
bye, Roman
