VIRTIO itself has no dependencies and therefore can easily be just
select'ed, instead of depending on it. The current depends on causes
any others trying to select VIRTIO to fail like this:
drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig:74:error: recursive dependency detected!
drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig:74: symbol DRM_KMS_HELPER is selected by
DRM_VIRTIO_GPU
drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/Kconfig:2: symbol DRM_VIRTIO_GPU depends on VIRTIO
drivers/virtio/Kconfig:2: symbol VIRTIO is selected by GPIO_VIRTIO
drivers/gpio/Kconfig:1618: symbol GPIO_VIRTIO depends on GPIOLIB
drivers/gpio/Kconfig:14: symbol GPIOLIB is selected by I2C_MUX_LTC4306
drivers/i2c/muxes/Kconfig:47: symbol I2C_MUX_LTC4306 depends on I2C
drivers/i2c/Kconfig:8: symbol I2C is selected by FB_DDC
drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:63: symbol FB_DDC depends on FB
drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:12: symbol FB is selected by
DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER
drivers/gpu/drm/Kconfig:80: symbol DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER depends on
DRM_KMS_HELPER
It seems that having both 'depends on' as well as 'select' on the same symbol
sends us into big trouble, and Kconfig can't break up the circular dependency
(note that in the tested configuration, neither I2C, FB or DRM are enabled at
all). Perhaps we could consider this a bug in Kconfig, but the trouble can
easily be circumvented by changing 'depends on' into 'select'.
DRM_VIRTIO_GPU also depends on VIRTIO_MENU, so even after this change, that
option will only show up if the user already enabled virtio in the config.
This change didn't cause any changes in the .config after menuconfig run,
so we should be completely safe here.
