Are you sure this works as expected ?

See https://docs.kernel.org/kbuild/kconfig-language.html :

Note:
     select should be used with care. select will force a symbol to a 
value without visiting the dependencies. By abusing select you are able 
to select a symbol FOO even if FOO depends on BAR that is not set. In 
general use select only for non-visible symbols (no prompts anywhere) 
and for symbols with no dependencies.
