This seems to explain why we want these dependencies, which is useful,
but *this* patch only removes the dependencies.

Maybe this description should be in the patch that *adds* the
dependencies, e.g., "ACPI: RISC-V: Implement function to add implicit
dependencies"?

This still claims this patch adds HID, which I don't think it does.
