If that's the case you just need to check and make sure that kgdboe
handles dependencies properly in it's Kconfig changes.

I suspect that simply adding kgdboe as a new "or" case to the
"def_bool" statement of NETPOLL in driver/net/Kconfig will fix the
problem.

If kgdboe is using "select" to handle these dependencies, that's the
bug.
