CONFIG_DMI is a user-selectable Kconfig symbol that some drivers
depend on. As part of a recent patch, other drivers started
adding a 'select' for the same symbol, which now causes
a recursive dependency:
Darren, it may make sense for you to fold the DELL_LAPTOP change in.
Andy, I didn't quite follow you. Are you referring to this patch from Arnd, or
from the dell-smbios series from Micha??

I'm planning on merging both (Micha?'s is pending a v5).
I meant to fold the "select DMI" -> "depends on DMI" for DELL_WMI into my patch.
Of course. Obvious in retrospect. :-)
