Clean up: Because NFSD_V4 "depends on" NFSD_V3, it appears as a child of
the NFSD_V3 menu entry, and is not visible if NFSD_V3 is unselected.
Replace the dependency on NFSD_V3 with a "select NFSD_V3". This makes
NFSD_V4 look and work just like NFS_V3, while ensuring that NFSD_V3 is
enabled if NFSD_V4 is.
Sam Ravnborg adds:
"This use of select is questionable. In general it is bad to select
a symbol with dependencies.
In this case the dependencies of NFSD_V3 are duplicated for NFSD_V4
so we will not se erratic configurations but do you remember to
update NFSD_V4 when you add a depends on NFSD_V3?
But I see no other clean way to do it right now."
Later he said:
"My comment was more to say we have things to address in kconfig.
This is abuse in the acceptable range."
