So I am really not happy with this.  Here is a common embedded
workflow, at least for me:

1. take some given Kconfig and get it running on the target.

2. for the given HW, change the modules into built-ins, and forget
   module loading

After this series, if I don't pay enough attention to dmesg, then I
have lost functionality that I had in step #1.

Would that given config from #1 typically have CONFIG_EXPERT actually 
set?

Ultimately, do you know a way to restrict a tristate to y or n? A 
tristate can be limited to m or n with "depends on m" but it doesn't 
appear to be possible to exclude m with a promotion to y.
