Hey Michael,

Thanks for the testing.  I haven't built through all the defconfigs
yet so this doesn't surprise me too much that I've missed some
drivers.  The failure is caused in the last three commits which remove
the old variables.  I'll pick through the failing defconfigs, fix and
test them, and refresh my branch.

I'll let you know when the branch is updated.

Cheers,
g.
