You used select.  Anything is possible with select.

You can do the below without an arm toolchain:

setenv arch ARM
make mrproper
make allmodconfig
akpm:/usr/src/25> grep BCM .config 
CONFIG_BT_HCIBCM203X=m
CONFIG_BCM43XX=m
CONFIG_BCM43XX_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_BCM43XX_DMA=y
CONFIG_BCM43XX_PIO=y
CONFIG_BCM43XX_DMA_AND_PIO_MODE=y
# CONFIG_BCM43XX_DMA_MODE is not set
# CONFIG_BCM43XX_PIO_MODE is not set
CONFIG_BCM43XX_MAC80211=m
CONFIG_BCM43XX_MAC80211_PCI=y
CONFIG_BCM43XX_MAC80211_PCMCIA=y
CONFIG_BCM43XX_MAC80211_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_BCM43XX_MAC80211_DMA=y
CONFIG_BCM43XX_MAC80211_PIO=y
CONFIG_BCM43XX_MAC80211_DMA_AND_PIO_MODE=y
# CONFIG_BCM43XX_MAC80211_DMA_MODE is not set
# CONFIG_BCM43XX_MAC80211_PIO_MODE is not set
CONFIG_DVB_BCM3510=m
akpm:/usr/src/25> grep SSB .config
akpm:/usr/src/25>

Just stop using select.   It's busted.
