Not sure if I see this, it looks like everything in drivers/media/
depends on CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT (directly or indirectly). If
CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT is =m then all dependents should be locked out of
being built-in.

Any bool symbol that controls compilation of source that depends on a
tristate symbol is broken and should be fixed anyway.
