Shouldn't the patches that upstream those drivers be the ones to add the
Kconfig glue?  Or is this a case of "in-flight driver" where the submission is
literally in the middle of getting merged so some parts have landed and some
haven't yet, and all will be good in the next merge cycle?

(Personally, I'm tending towards unless it's going to be in linux-next within
the next month or so, pull the Kconfig variables out and the driver can re-add
them when it actually lands)
