Btw, if you want to have the _question_ always be y/n only, that's easy
enough to do, just make that one do
config SATA_MENU
bool "Want to see SATA drivers"
depends on SCSI != n
config SCSI_SATA
tristate
depends on SCSI && SATA_MENU
default y
and now you have a totally sensible setup, where the low-level drivers can
depend on something sane.
I don't think it _buys_ you anything, but hey, at least it's logical.
Btw, wouldn't it be much nicer to also have this all in a totally separate
Kconfig file? That SCSI Kconfig file is one of the biggest ones (yeah,
drivers/net/Kconfig is bigger, but hey, that's not a surprise, is it ;)
