I don't understand what limitation you see here. The definition
of the VIDEO_TUNER symbol is an empty 'tristate' symbol with a
dependency on MEDIA_TUNER to ensure we get a warning if MEDIA_TUNER
is not enabled, and to ensure it is set to 'm' if MEDIA_TUNER=m and
a "bool" driver selects VIDEO_TUNER.

You are saying that the first one is not correct, so I assume we
still need the second meaning. We could probably do that like the
patch below (untested) that makes the intention much more explicit.
