It will fix this specific EEPROM_93CX6 issue, but I recall seeing
other similar cases of build warnings related to the missing
dependency of MISC_DEVICES. I can´t provide any other examples until
Tuesday next week.

Instead of fixing each instance where this MISC_DEPENDENCY issue
happens, I think that removing MISC_DEVICES could be a good fix.
