Subject: [PATCH] misc devices: Do not enable by default

Do not enable this Kconfig menu by default since it contains devices not
present on the majority of systems.

This is becoming a pain and a waste of time especially when doing a
bunch of kernel builds on different systems daily and have to answer
"make oldconfig" prompts for strange devices.

 	  Say Y here to get to see options for device drivers from various
 	  different categories. This option alone does not add any kernel code.
