No, this isn't an either/or thing - the dependency is absolutely
mandatory if the device needs SPMI.  The defconfigs are a separate
thing, they just exist to give people a starting point for configuring
their kernel so if the device using SPMI is important for relevant
systems the defconfig needs to be set up to enable it but that's
separate to the dependency since there's no need for people to ever even
look at defconfigs.
