> Right so you are kinda stuck and you default to on. Ok, I get your data
source comment now (which is sorta the same as my who-decides-unnecessary
comment). I would have thought drivers like these with no intention going on
x86 would state that in the Kconfig, but perhaps they are stuck with the same
reasoning: why limit it?

With some they don't bother.  With others they really don't know.  A vendor
makes a DAC chip, or a regulator, and a driver for it gets upstream.  They are
hoping to sell those chips to as many vendors as will buy them. AFAIK there is
no central registry of "here's everything that is shipping".  I still think
with this approach, we may end up missing some eccentric hardware not in wide
use, but it would be easy enough to turn those back on once a bug is filed.
