That's unfortunate, I'm a bit concerned about support for users picking
up the kernel and using it to build products.

Samuel, would you be OK with cherry picking the relevant commits to the
Wolfson drivers back into .37?  I'm especially concerned about WM8994
here - I'd really not like to see a kernel version go out where that
doesn't work.

Probably slightly more in that you can't just blindly add the dependency
when you see the problem but yeah.
