Starting a few lines earlier, you might have read:

# PARIDE doesn't need PARPORT, but if PARPORT is configured as a module,
# PARIDE must also be a module. The bogus CONFIG_PARIDE_PARPORT option
# controls the choices given to the user ...

Perhaps this will help:

CONFIG_PARPORT: y m n
CONFIG_PARIDE_PARPORT: y m y

Choices for CONFIG_PARIDE: y,m,n m,n y,m,n

Yes.

There's nothing wrong here. No patch is required.
