Samuel - this adds the CONFIG_MFD thing, with absolutely _no_ explanation.
So now people see this totally incomprehensible question:
Enable Multifunction device drivers? (Y/n)
with no sane way to decide whether they should actually enable it or not.
I'm ok with it being 'y' default, since it's a whole new config option
that enables pre-existing config options, but _dammit_ people, you need to
think way more about the Kconfig options you add!
"MFD" isn't even a well-defined term. A lot of people think about printers
when they hear it. So you really _really_ need to explain what the h*ll
you are asking people!
