This error is inevitable as both RSA_VERIFY_WITH_PKEY and
RSA_PUBLIC_KEY_PARSER are "select"able configurations with
visible prompts and then
we should generally avoid potential illegal configurations;
The one should NOT forcibly select the other as the kernel kconfig
document suggests.

#  Note:
#        select should be used with care. select will force
#        a symbol to a value without visiting the dependencies.
#        By abusing select you are able to select a symbol FOO even
#        if FOO depends on BAR that is not set.
#        In general use select only for non-visible symbols
#        (no prompts anywhere) and for symbols with no dependencies.
#        That will limit the usefulness but on the other hand avoid
#        the illegal configurations all over.
