Maybe I misread/misunderstood the question at hand then :) Let me just
rephrase it this way, we have the recipe and the control in this case, so
adding the dependency and making sure that the kernel option to use
it via a config fragment is valid .. which is what you did, minus the fragment,
and we don't really need the fragment, since we know it is on.

You could audit the constructed .config as well, since that's the final word
on whether it actually makes it into the kernel build, but also not really
required here.

So consider this random noise, before I drank my coffee this morning :)

Cheers,

Bruce
