As I described in this commit, the problem here was that NET_DSA_SJA1105_TAS
is a 'bool' symbol with a dependency on a 'tristate', so you have to prevent
the option from getting enabled when it's part of a driver that gets built into
the kernel but the dependnecy is in a loadable module.

NET_DSA_HIRSCHMANN_HELLCREEK on the other hand is a 'tristate'
symbol itself, so the dependency takes care of it: you cannot set it to =y
when its dependency is =m.
