We had a bit of a play around with reworking this the other day.

Putting them in as depends didn't make sense, as they are "soft"
dependancies - the driver works and you can do some things without DAX.

Adding them as selects was rejected as selecting symbols that can also
be manually select is discouraged.

We ended up going full circle and adding them back to the defconfig.
