on i386:


WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for I2C_S3C2410
  Depends on [n]: I2C [=y] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && HAVE_S3C2410_I2C [=n]
  Selected by [m]:
  - PHY_EXYNOS5250_SATA [=m] && (SOC_EXYNOS5250 || COMPILE_TEST [=y]) && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && OF [=y]


I also notice that PHY_EXYNOS5250_SATA also selects I2C.
It is preferable not to select an entire subsystem.  If a user wants a subsystem
enabled, then the user should enable it.  This driver should instead depend on I2C.
