In general when you select a symbol that has dependencies you are almost

more specific options should make sure that they never select it when the

Sure, in theory that would work, but in practice this ends up being a constant
source of broken builds.
Use a dependency here with a sane default - then people can set it to 'n'
if they really do not want this driver.
Spreading selects too much is just causing you pain in the long run.
I'm not sure I understand what you're looking for, but I don't see anything
wrong with something like this (apart from missing help text):
config FS_ENET
bool
select MII
select PHYLIB
config FS_ENET_HAS_SCC
bool "Freescale CPM SCC Ethernet"
depends on CPM1 || CPM2
select FS_ENET
What prevents me from turning on FS_ENET_HAS_SCC without MII or PHYLIB? Why
is FS_ENET_HAS_SCC a bool, and not tristate?
