Okay, thanks. Due to the recent merge window the dependencies are
trivial at the moment, and it wouldn't introduce build breakage to
exclude them (i.e. it's just removing selects from Kconfig files and
defconfigs that have been removed in linux-next), so I'll exclude those
changes for now and deal with them later.

Cheers
James
