Oh, fail. This is nothing to do with select, it's to do with bool.
Kbuild doesn't propagate the dependency from the boolean (which makes
sense for a lot of uses but not for this one). The current "fix" used
by other drivers in the same situation is to depend on I2C=y which works
but means that we loose build coverage from allmodconfig. I'll post a
patch for this shortly.
