Negative depencies are a bad idea in general. ACK. How about adding HAS_AGP into platform Kconfig and making that animal dependent on it? BTW, AFAICS a legitimate form of negative dependency is && (!FOO || BROKEN) and it's common enough to consider adding a separate broken if to config language. It would be interpreted as && (! || BROKEN) added to dependencies, but would document the situation better.
