Yes, but I'm not sure this is the right patch either. We tend to not
use 'select' for user-visible drivers, and most hisilicon platforms
won't need this driver.

I think it would be more consistent to add this to the defconfig
and regard it as a user error when the driver is disabled on a
machine that needs it.
