Okay, sure, my bad for not looking that up properly.

If we change this into a "depends on", this should not be a problem,
right? If CONFIG_BRIDGE is selected as 'm', then CONFIG_ROCKER can only
be 'n' or 'm', if CONFIG_BRIDGE is set to 'y', it can be 'n', 'm' or 'y'.

This also means that the prompt associated with CONFIG_ROCKER will only
show up in menuconfig when CONFIG_BRIDGE has been enabled (either 'm' or
'y').

I've attached an updated patch.
