[PATCH] riscv: replace select with dependency for visible RELOCATABLE

From: Julian Braha

Date: Sun May 03 2026 - 00:04:21 EST


RANDOMIZE_BASE currently selects RELOCATABLE even though RELOCATABLE
is visible to users. Some other architectures, like x86, use 'depends on'
for RELOCATABLE in their definition of RANDOMIZE_BASE, so let's do the same
here.

This select-visible Kconfig misusage was detected by Kconfirm, a static
analysis tool for Kconfig.
