By kconfig INFINIBAND_ADDR_TRANS depends on INFINIBAND.  So yes, it seems
redundant.  I don't know if anyone has designs to break this dependency and
allow for ADDR_TRANS without INFINIBAND.  Assuming not, I'd be willing to
amend my series removing redundant INFINIBAND and a followup series to
remove it from similar depends.  Though I'm not familiar with rdma dev tree
lifecycle.  Is rdma/for-rc a throw away branch (akin to linux-next), or
will it be merged into linus/master?  If throwaway, then we can amend
its patches, otherwise followups will be needed.

Let me know what you'd prefer.  Thanks.

FYI from v4.17-rc3:
drivers/staging/lustre/lnet/Kconfig:  depends on LNET && PCI && INFINIBAND
&& INFINIBAND_ADDR_TRANS
net/9p/Kconfig:       depends on INET && INFINIBAND && INFINIBAND_ADDR_TRANS
net/rds/Kconfig:      depends on RDS && INFINIBAND && INFINIBAND_ADDR_TRANS
net/sunrpc/Kconfig:   depends on SUNRPC && INFINIBAND &&
INFINIBAND_ADDR_TRANS
