Yes, my mistake.

I don't understand what you mean with 'the whole thing'. My change
changed the existing 'select X86_PLATFORM_DEVICES if X86 && ACPI'
into the corresponding dependency, in order to change it the
least.

The dependency itself is needed because of

       select ACPI_WMI if X86 && ACPI

and this in turn is needed for

       select ACPI_VIDEO if X86 && ACPI

Agreed. Overall, what I'd really like to see is to remove
all those 'select' of drivers from other subsystems. I think
ACPI_VIDEO is at the center here, and changing all the
'select ACPI_VIDEO if ACPI' instances to
'depends on ACPI_VIDEO || !ACPI_VIDEO' would solve a lot of
the recurring dependency loop problems in drivers/gpu/.

Actually doing it without regressions is going to be
nontrivial though, because any change in this area is likely
to trigger another dependency loop somewhere.
