Add a prompt to the "tristate" attribute in the Kconfig file in
which QCOM_QMI_HELPERS is defined; I find it doesn't get selected
without it.

This was a *long* time ago!

The discussion that followed indicated that the thing that needs
QCOM_QMI_HELPERS should *select* it rather than *depend on it.

Will this not work for you?

We need it in OpenWRT project, when using WiFi backports
and build ath11k driver. While ath11k driver depends on
QCOM_QMI_HELPERS we need way to enable this option in
our kernel.
