No, I missed that. Generally, I'd say we should limit the use of Kconfig
fragments to more fundamental settings, it should not replace the
manual configuration that users apply to pick the set of drivers
they want. In the end there is not much difference between someone
locally turning on CONFIG_INET when they need it, or using a fragment
that does the same.

Please just pick one default here (ethernet and ipv4 both enabled or
both disabled) that makes sense for most users, and have the others
change it manually.
