Before MEDIA_TUNER, what we had was something like:

	config MEDIA_driver_foo
	select VIDEO_tuner_bar if MEDIA_SUBDRV_AUTOSELECT
	select MEDIA_frontend_foobar if MEDIA_SUBDRV_AUTOSELECT
	...

However, as different I2C drivers had different dependencies, this
used to cause lots of troubles. So, one of the Kbuild maintainers
came out with the idea of converting from select into depends on.
The MEDIA_TUNER is just an ancillary invisible option to make it
work at the tuner's side, as usually what we want is to have all
tuners selected, as we don't have a one to one mapping about what
driver supports what tuner (nor we wanted to do it, as this would
mean lots of work for not much gain).

No, VIDEO_TUNER is there because we wanted to be able to use select
to enable V4L2 tuner core support and let people to manually select
the needed I2C devices with MEDIA_SUBDRV_AUTOSELECT unselected.

Doesn't need to worry about that, because all drivers that select VIDEO_TUNER
depend on I2C:

drivers/media/pci/bt8xx/Kconfig:        select VIDEO_TUNER
drivers/media/pci/cx18/Kconfig: select VIDEO_TUNER
drivers/media/pci/cx23885/Kconfig:      select VIDEO_TUNER
drivers/media/pci/cx88/Kconfig: select VIDEO_TUNER
drivers/media/pci/ivtv/Kconfig: select VIDEO_TUNER
drivers/media/pci/saa7134/Kconfig:      select VIDEO_TUNER
drivers/media/pci/saa7146/Kconfig:      select VIDEO_TUNER
drivers/media/pci/saa7164/Kconfig:      select VIDEO_TUNER
drivers/media/usb/au0828/Kconfig:       select VIDEO_TUNER
drivers/media/usb/cx231xx/Kconfig:      select VIDEO_TUNER
drivers/media/usb/em28xx/Kconfig:       select VIDEO_TUNER
drivers/media/usb/go7007/Kconfig:       select VIDEO_TUNER
drivers/media/usb/pvrusb2/Kconfig:      select VIDEO_TUNER
drivers/media/usb/tm6000/Kconfig:       select VIDEO_TUNER
drivers/media/usb/usbvision/Kconfig:    select VIDEO_TUNER

This will always be the case for PCI/USB drivers that support analog TV,
as those drivers need to implement the I2C adapter code inside them.

Yes, the above could work. This is simpler fix, and should work fine for
all current usecases:

diff --git a/drivers/media/v4l2-core/Kconfig b/drivers/media/v4l2-core/Kconfig
index 9beece00869b..b30e1c879a57 100644

Ok, if we'll have platform drivers for analog TV using the I2C bus
at directly in SoC, then your solution is better, but the tuner core
driver may not be the best way of doing it. So, for now, I would use
the simpler version.
