There is a theoretical possibility that someone else would be using
the driver as it is not actually a U300 thing, "DDC I2C" is probably
used in a bunch of old ST things but I don't think they ever had
mainline support, and with the ARCH guard in Kconfig we should
be safe. If someone needs it later they can resurrect it from git.
