I think we should just remove most of these "depends on" since they're 
mostly set up to reflect runtime requirements rather than build time 
requirements. The only points I'd make are:

1)

Everything should "depends on SND_SOC_TEGRA" simply so the options don't 
show up and clutter menuconfig menus unless SND_SOC_TEGRA is enabled.

2)

SND_SOC_TEGRA30_I2S does need the Tegra30 AHUB driver in order to 
compile/link, since it directly calls functions in that driver. This is 
already handled by SND_SOC_TEGRA30_I2S doing "select SND_SOC_TEGRA30_AHUB".

3)

The machine drivers all do e.g. "select SND_SOC_TEGRA30_I2S if 
ARCH_TEGRA_3x_SOC". This was an attempt to make the machine drivers only 
pull in the relevant drivers for the SoC(s) being compiled for. I'm not 
sure this still makes sense; this won't work on kernels that only 
support T124/T210/T186 since ARCH_TEGRA_3x_SOC isn't enabled then. 
Should we just remove all those and make sure the defconfigs are updated 
to make sure the relevant I2S/AHUB/SPDIF/AC97 drivers are explicitly 
enabled? Perhaps we should default all the I2S/AHUB/SPDIF/AC97 to y 
(which will only apply if SND_SOC_TEGRA is enabled)?
