Indeed, it does. Kind of odd, but works - and well if others run into
the recursive issue then we have two diverging solutions now:

  a) Either swap all "select FOO" to "depends on FOO" or,
  b) Change the offending "depends on FOO" to "select FOO"

So sticking to one seems to make Kconfig happy for recursive
dependency solving for now...
