A newer attempt still produces the same result:

drivers/input/Kconfig:9:error: found recursive dependency: INPUT ->
       HID_SUPPORT -> HID_PICOLCD_FB -> FB -> FB_STI -> VT -> INPUT

(it's only FB which causes the loop, LEDS, LCD and BACKLIGHT are fine)

This is with following patch on top of the improved deps patch I sent
a few minutes ago deeper in this thread.

Is there a way around this?
