Nope, the only change is that the dependency graph is somewhat shorter:

drivers/gpio/Kconfig:6:error: recursive dependency detected!
drivers/gpio/Kconfig:6: symbol GPIOLIB is selected by LEDS_EXPRESSWIRE
drivers/leds/Kconfig:9: symbol LEDS_EXPRESSWIRE is selected by
BACKLIGHT_KTD2801
drivers/video/backlight/Kconfig:186: symbol BACKLIGHT_KTD2801 depends on
BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
drivers/video/backlight/Kconfig:136: symbol BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE is
selected by FB_BACKLIGHT
drivers/video/fbdev/core/Kconfig:180: symbol FB_BACKLIGHT is selected by
FB_SSD1307
drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:1934: symbol FB_SSD1307 depends on GPIOLIB
For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst
subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations"
