I'm not sure if we want to go this far given the squishiness about module
dependencies. As far as I know we are the only driver that uses this seriously
on QCOM SoCs and this is only needed for certain targets. I don't know if we
want to force every target to build NVMEM and QFPROM on our behalf. But maybe
I'm just saying that because Kconfig dependencies tend to break my brain (and
then Arnd has to send a patch to fix it).
