There's something more seriously wrong than the select with your config
here - the driver depends on (rather than selecting) I2C and you're also
seeing undefined references to the I2C API.  The select on MFD_CORE
should also be forcing that to be built in (it does normally).

Could you please post the actual configuration you're using?  I suspect
some Kbuild bug has been triggered here...
