It would be nice to have a single depends. But the main issue is, PSP
support is provided through the ccp driver (aka CRYPTO_DEV_CCP_DD).
Hence KVM_AMD_SEV need to have some level of dependency with ccp driver.
This is to ensure that the ccp was 'y' when kvm-amd=y for SEV to work.

I am sorry but I am not able to follow you on how creating a separate
CRYPTO .config item will solve this problem. Creating a separate config
will be useful if we are okay with calling 'select' from kvm (i.e if
kvm-amd is 'y' then all the symbols from crypto will be 'y').

I looked at other drivers where they have similar situation and it seems
like solution is same as what I have used above.
