I will come back with a new patch to Kconfig once you decide what is the best way to handle dependecies, but in the meantime can you please accept this current patch?

I keep getting automated errors that would be fixed by it:

https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202510210604.mAtgE54g-lkp@xxxxxxxxx/
https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202510222324.SxYlIaLW-lkp@xxxxxxxxx/
https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202510271347.115BMnsC-lkp@xxxxxxxxx/

If the current patch does not correctly reference the automated 0day-ci reports please tell me what I should change within my b4 workflow.

thank you,
