Subject: Kconfig fails: big select-based circular dependency

This is getting silly:

scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
drivers/dma/Kconfig:5:error: recursive dependency detected!

drivers/dma/Kconfig:121:        symbol MX3_IPU depends on DMADEVICES

This is a good illustration why the select disease is truely bad...
