Obviously, since this symbol in unused now, it's not possible to
determine what driver is involved. That would be different if this
Kconfig symbol was actually used previously. But I didn't check - for
all those symbols involved in this series - why they turned out to be
unused now. So I can't say whether these symbols should never have been
in the tree in the first place or whether they were forgotten when
someone removed their last actual usage.
