Thank you for your work on this. Mixing of depends on vs select
is a real problem with many Kconfig symbols.

For patch 5/8 and 6/8, do you want me to merge them through the pdx86
(platform-drivers-x86) tree, or do you plan to merge this whole series
in one go through some other tree?

If you plan to merge the whole series through some other tree,
here is my acked by for doing so for 5/8 and 6/8:
