Right, but given where we are in the cycle this is going to be something to
merge post 5.16-rc1 anyways which resolves the dependency issue.

I guess it might be good to send this our in a later pull-req as a fix series
for a later 5.16-rc# though, to avoid the eclite and chrome-ec drivers from
autoloading on all systems with an ISH, even though they usually will not be
used there.
