It's nice to be ignored...

And you obviously didn't read the commit or understand it.

Yes there is.  We've recently seen the selection of CACHE_L2X0 be removed
from platforms, while leaving the selection of the errata behind.  The
result is Kconfig warnings.  My commit above ensures that this doesn't
happen in the future by adding the proper dependencies onto those errata
selects.

Please do the same.
