Yes. My point/question is, i2c-atr isn't different than any other 
selectable kconfig (afaics), like, say, DRM_KMS_HELPER. So is the 
"official" way (if there is such a thing) to add selectable kconfigs 
with just "tristate", or tristate with "if COMPILE_TEST". I thought it 
was the former, but I can see value with the latter too.
