Subject: [PATCH 4.16 273/279] platform/x86: DELL_WMI use depends on instead of select for DELL_SMBIOS

4.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Darren Hart <dvhart@...radead.org>

[ Upstream commit 54940fa60ad3728c592f62dadb558165495a6938 ]

If DELL_WMI "select"s DELL_SMBIOS, the DELL_SMBIOS dependencies are
ignored and it is still possible to end up with unmet direct
dependencies.

Change the select to a depends on.
