I would prefer something like:

Say Y here if you want to enable ACPI I2C support. This includes support
for automatic enumeration of I2C slave devices and support for ACPI I2C
Operation Regions. Operation Regions allow firmware (BIOS) code to
access I2C slave devices, such as smart batteries through an I2C host
controller driver.

But it is really up to you so,
