You've hit the rather subtle rules of select vs default. What happened is
that SERIO is selected to m, but SERIO_I8042 isn't selected so the default
of y is used instead.
We already had the problem in the past that select and default don't work
well together, so this patch cleans this up and makes the rule hopefully
more straightforward. Basically now the value is calculated like this:

	(value && dependency) || select

where the value is the user choice (if available and the symbol is
visible) or default.

In this case it means SERIO and SERIO_I8042 are both set to y due to their
default and if SERIO didn't had the default, then the SERIO_I8042 value
would be limited to m due to the dependency.

I tested this patch with more 10000 random configs and above case is the
only the difference that showed up, so I hope there is nothing that
depended on the old more complex and subtle rules.
