The only thing I worry about is if old defconfig files are now
missing this config option and then this patch becomes an
unbisectable showstopper for them because they don't get
this driver by default anymore.

So please make sure you've grepped around and checked
that of some platforms defconfig was previously selecting
the core driver, make sure it selects this driver too for
the moment, it's better if they later deactivate it
if they don't need it.

Yours,
