We have similar problems in other areas
of the kernel. In theory, we could enforce the VIDEO_TUNER driver to
be modular here by adding lots of dependencies to it:

config VIDEO_TUNER
      tristate
      depends on MEDIA_TUNER_TEA5761 || !MEDIA_TUNER_TEA5761
      depends on MEDIA_TUNER_TEA5767 || !MEDIA_TUNER_TEA5767
      depends on MEDIA_TUNER_MSI001  || !MEDIA_TUNER_MSI001

Nah, that's even uglier. I suggest to merge your IS_REACHABLE patch.

Ok, can I take this as an ack from your side to merge the
include/linux/kconfig.h part of the patch through the linux-media
tree?

Yes. If you want

I thought about splitting up the patch into two, but that would
just make merging it harder because we'd still have the dependency.

Agreed, no need to pedantically split patches just for the sake of it.
