NAK, at least for the rt2x00 part, but probably for the other parts as well.
The rt2x00 drivers actually need the EEPROM_93CX6 driver to be
present, otherwise they won't work correctly. Therefore only selecting
the symbol when MISC_DEVICES has been enabled can lead to a
non-functional configuration for the rt2x00 devices.

A correct fix would be to also select MISC_DEVICES at all locations
where EEPROM_93CX6 is selected.
