kconfig: report select on a depending option

Hi,


With the following combination of Kconfig config options, I can select
TEST_Z, which will select TEST_X, even if TEST_Y=n. It also allows for
awkward situations like TEST_Y=M, TEST_X=y, TEST_Z=y, which would yield
a link time error when X uses Y's symbols.
Is there a way to have such potential errors reported with kconfig?

config TEST_Y
tristate "Y"

config TEST_X
depends on Y
tristate "X"

config TEST_Z
select TEST_Y
tristate "Z"

thanks,
Jan
