When added for 2 drivers that should not both be built-in, that
causes this error message:
drivers/staging/rtl8192u/Kconfig:1:error: recursive dependency detected!
drivers/staging/rtl8192u/Kconfig:1: symbol RTL8192U depends on RTL8192E
drivers/staging/rtl8192e/Kconfig:1: symbol RTL8192E depends on RTL8192U
but yes, only one driver is then built-in.
