The first patch adds some Kconfig entries, and the second one removes them.
Also, all but the first patch are really about multiplatform enablement.

I suggest that you split off the last three (and rebase them to be
independent), and apply them to a multiplatform branch for vt8500. Then the
last one is a soc branch that goes on top of the multiplatform branch (i.e. you
build it on top of multiplatform). That way we can pull in the multiplatform
changes together with those for other platforms, and then take the wm8{7,8}50
branch goes in with the other new-soc support from other platforms.

Does that make sense? I'll be happy to provide more explanation if it doesn't.
