This symbol cannot be selected by users, so it's maybe not a good idea 
to depend on it. In fact, I've had to remove such a statement because it 
created a cyclic dependency. [1]

Making the drivers depend on KMS helpers is the right thing though. If 
there's a better solution, please let me know.

Best regards
