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.
