I see. Thanks.

But now I wonder: is I2C_SI4713 useful on itself? Would anyone use
si4713.ko without using either radio-usb-si4713.ko or
radio-platform-si4713.ko? Because it seems that if what people actually
use is radio-usb-si4713.ko or radio-platform-si4713.ko than I2C_SI4713
could be made a 'select only' Kconfig symbol (that won't show up in
menuconfig), couldn't it?
