OK, thanks for the comment. Note that there is some precedent for this
bad Kconfig behavior in the same subsystem (POWER_RESET_GPIO and
POWER_RESET_VEXPRESS are both 'select'ed in arch/arm/mach-*/Kconfig).

How about a third option, where we drop the 'select' statement and
set POWER_RESET_BRCMSTB to be 'default y'? Then we don't have to modify
the defconfig, and it gives the added bonus of choosing a sane default
even if you're not based on the multi_v7_defconfig. i.e.:

This driver provides restart support for ARM-based Broadcom STB
boards.
