We could select INPUT from drivers/media/

And FW_LOADER should really select HOTPLUG - there's no good reason for 
FW_LOADER to be a user-visible option with dependencies.

But these two are problems that are only relevant for randconfig users 
while the I2C troubles hit real users, so I want to attack the I2C 
issues first.

First issue when working on it:

The dependencies between VIDEO_IR and VIDEO_IR_I2C look wrong
(consider VIDEO_IR=y and I2C=m).

It's not a problem since currently all users of VIDEO_IR also depend
on I2C.

Should I fix the dependency or can I let VIDEO_IR select I2C and remove 
VIDEO_IR_I2C?
