Or let's just remove this 'select SMC91X' completely as it's not
strictly required?

BTW - how's the Kconfig cleanup works going? I guess going forward,
the best way for such cases might be to introduce HAVE_SMC91X, and
let SMC91X to depend on this? However, that could in turn introduce
a massive number of HAVE_* for various drivers.
