Hi Arnd,

Thanks for the fix.

What about the CONFIG_ARCH_BCM2835=y case? The combination of 
CONFIG_GPIO_RASPBERRYPI_EXP=y and CONFIG_RASPBERRYPI_FIRMWARE=m is still 
valid. Wouldn't that break the build?

Isn't there a way in Kconfig to force CONFIG_GPIO_RASPBERRYPI_EXP=m when 
CONFIG_RASPBERRYPI_FIRMWARE=m?

What about 'depends on m || RASPBERRYPI_FIRMWARE=y'?

Grepping around I also found this:

drivers/power/supply/Kconfig:   depends on USB_GADGET || !USB_GADGET # if USB_GADGET=m, this can't be 'y'

And this:

drivers/infiniband/Kconfig:     depends on m || IPV6 != m

This is really non-obvious. An inline comment here might help, IMO.
