The new patch hasn't shown up yet, so I can't be totally definite.  But I
would prefer not to have redundancy in the Kconfig file for several reasons:
 - maintain consistency with existing kernel practice
 - avoid maintenance problems caused by updating only half the info
 - although now you're saying "depends" & "select", the original patch used
    "default" & "select" -- in any case I would like to be able to have
    CONFIG_INFINIBAND=y plus CONFIG_INFINIBAND_CM=m work.

 - R.
