If you set CONFIG_MODULE=y and build SCSI we assume you could have a

This should be implemented like "Library routines" and only added if such
a SCSI driver module is actually selected. Why can't it at least be a
visible option in the menu? (Although even then it looks like it's
impossible to disable).
There's out of tree modules to consider.
Ok, I propose we make dozens of modules default 'm' in case an out of
tree module requires it.
SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC ("Asynchronous SCSI scanning"): "You can load the
scsi_wait_scan module to ensure that all scans have completed."
It looks like SCSI_WAIT_SCAN is pointless unless SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC
is selected - so it should depend on it:
