I think "selects" is strange here.

"select" is a Kconfig keyword.
select's is intentional, I guess.


Keep it as-is, or perhaps change it into "select" (singular) ?

I can pick this up, but I commented on the first paragraph.

(I do not know what is the best way to describe the
plural form of a special keyword...)

I thought so when I read it also.

Yes, I expect so.

Maybe:

 Below is a list of examples of prior fixes for these types of recursive issues;
-all errors appear to involve one or more select's and one or more "depends on".
+all errors appear to involve one or more "select"s and one or more "depends on".

With rare exceptions, apostrophes are not used to form a plural noun.

Maybe it could be recast as "... at least one 'select' attribute and
at least one 'depends on' attribute"?

I'm not quite sure what the intended meaning is, because the table it
refers to has lines that contain only "depends on" (without "select")
and also lines that contain only "select" (no "depends on").

Apostrophe abuse is one of those ways to annoy a certain percentage of
your reader's :)

It could be as Bjorn made it, or:

	"select" statements
	``select``s
