Subject: [PATCH 1/2] kconfig: Introduce IS_DEPENDENCY_SATISFIED()

Most of the time, when we use IS_ENABLED() it's to specify a dependency
on a config option that might be enabled. But if this option is enabled
as a module, and we are built-in, then we'll have missing symbols.

This new macro is therefore useful to specify a dependency on another
config. But it also needs to know our own config option in order to
check if the dependency is properly satisfied.

IS_DEPENDENCY_SATISFIED(CONFIG_SELF, CONFIG_FOO) evaluates to 1 if
CONFIG_FOO is set to 'y' or 'm', and set the same as CONFIG_SELF. It
evaluates to 0 otherwise.
