Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst explains the behavior of
'select' as follows:
reverse dependencies can be used to force a lower limit of
another symbol. The value of the current menu symbol is used as the
minimal value <symbol> can be set to.
This is not true when the 'select' property is followed by 'if'.
[Test Code]
config MODULES
def_bool y
modules
config A
def_tristate y
select C if B
config B
def_tristate m
config C
tristate
[Result]
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_A=y
CONFIG_B=m
CONFIG_C=m
If "the value of A is used as the minimal value C can be set to",
C must be 'y'.
The actual behavior is "C is selected by (A && B)". The lower limit of
C is downgraded due to B being 'm'.
This behavior is kind of weird, and this has arisen several times in
the mailing list.
I do not know whether it is a bug or intended behavior. Anyway, it is
not feasible to change it now because many Kconfig files are written
based on this behavior. The same applies to 'imply'.
Document this (but reserve the possibility for a future change).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
