Yes, so it is the problem.  I got CONFIG_A=m in .config from
CONFIG_A=y in defconfig.

I tested in this way:

1. Add this example to the end of drivers/char/Kconfig file.
-------------------------------------
choice
	prompt "choice list AB"
config A
	tristate "a"
config B
	tristate "b"
endchoice
choice
	prompt "choice list CD"
	depends on A
config C
       	bool "c"
config D
       	bool "d"
endchoice
-------------------------------------

2. Then run commands:

$ cp arch/x86/configs/i386_defconfig arch/x86/configs/test_defconfig
$ echo 'CONFIG_A=y' >> arch/x86/configs/test_defconfig 
$ make O=../build test_defconfig
$ grep CONFIG_A= ../build/.config
CONFIG_A=m
