Re: [PATCH 1/5] mips: Set CONFIG_NET=y in defconfigs

Commit 5d6be6a5 ("scsi_netlink : Make SCSI_NETLINK dependent on NET
instead of selecting NET") removed what happened to be the only instance
of 'select NET'. Defconfigs that were relying on the select now lack
networking support.

On the contrary, since NET was being selected for them indirectly
previously, weren't they depending instead upon NET being enabled?

Likewise for SCSI_NETLINK, SCSI_FC_ATTRS, and whatever was triggering
the select upon them?

I'll remember this as yet another why 'select' is to be avoided at
just about all costs.
