Oh darn it, I completely missed that small change, via that OpenWrt addition!
So in short OpenWrt did modify Kconfig to have a prompt,
yet forgot to then also add the then-necessary dependency information:

[[ Johannes Berg originally replied:

]]

I'll try to send a repair patch (add dependency)
for these various OpenWrt kernel patch files soon,
unless this is not the way to go...

Thank you very much for your input,

Andreas Mohr
