Unless something has changed in KConfig, (and my knowledge on this is
likely to be outdated) I don't believe this will work as I don't think
selects don't get propagated like you expect. Have you checked that
all possible configuration options survive make oldconfig and build
without warnings?

Also, unless there's some compelling reason not to, it's probably a
good idea to update the dependent drivers and defconfigs now. (or make
this change in a gentler manner.)
