I partially agree with this! As I did not realize that that there are 
more than one SMEM_STATE drivers.


The driver bindings clearly marks "qcom,smem-states" and 
"qcom,smem-state-names" as required properties, so it makes the driver 
dependent on SMEM_STATE.

But SMEM_STATE is only selected from SMP2P Kconfig.

Indirectly/directly the driver is dependent on the SMEM_STATE drivers.

I agree, instead of select, we should mark these configs with a

depends on QCOM_SMEM_STATE


so that the final pil kconfigs are only selected with right dependencies 
are in place.
Does that sound okay?
