I am of the opinion that it is OK to "select" high-level subsystems that
don't have additional dependencies, especially if they are "past" the
original driver in menuconfig. I don't really like the idea of forcing
users revisiting earlier sub-menus after they selected a new subsystem
to see if there are any new options. Plus, if user wants driver for his
touchpad he does not really care whether it is PS/2 or USB, [s]he just
wants it to work.
So the change was intentional on my part.
