Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] platform/x86: acer-wmi: Fix recursive dependency for acer-wmi

"select ACPI_VIDEO" cause recursive dependency when "depends on HWMON"
is added.

---build log
drivers/hwmon/Kconfig:6:error: recursive dependency detected!
drivers/hwmon/Kconfig:6: symbol HWMON is selected by EEEPC_LAPTOP
drivers/platform/x86/Kconfig:326: symbol EEEPC_LAPTOP depends on ACPI_VIDEO
drivers/acpi/Kconfig:208: symbol ACPI_VIDEO is selected by ACER_WMI
drivers/platform/x86/Kconfig:173: symbol ACER_WMI depends on HWMON
---

It is not recommended to use "select" for visible symbol, "select" has changed
to "depends on".

This patch depends on "platform/x86: acer-wmi: add fan speed monitoring
for Predator PHN16-71"
