Nope, won't work. I tried that last night. VIDEO_DEV_SAA7146_VV
has too many "select"s involved, but select doesn't follow the dependency
chains. IOW, as written in Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt:
select is evil.... select will by brute force set a symbol
equal to 'y' without visiting the dependencies. So abusing
select you are able to select a symbol FOO even if FOO depends
on BAR that is not set.
