Thank you Mao, shortly after you posted your patch Uwe proposed to make
DIMLIB a hidden symbol:

https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/a85be675-ce56-f7ba-29e9-b749073aab6c@kleine-koenig.org/T/#t

That patch will likely be applied soon, could you please rework your
patch to use the "select" keyword instead of "depends". That's what
other users do.
