Completely agree. But ath9k Kconfig has proper dependecy for
ATH9K_DFS_DEBUGFS. I am wondering how it is selected w/o ATH9K_DEBUGFS.

config ATH9K_DFS_DEBUGFS
        def_bool y
	depends on ATH9K_DEBUGFS && ATH9K_DFS_CERTIFIED

Should it be like this?

config ATH9K_DFS_DEBUGFS
	def_bool y if (ATH9K_DEBUGFS && ATH9K_DFS_CERTIFIED)
