All the drivers that include 8255.h depend on the 8255 module.  They still 
compile without it because 8255.h provides stubs that automatically drop 
support for the 8255 chips from the other drivers if the 8255 module is 
not selected.  IMO, the stubs are not particularly valuable and with the 
fine-grained driver selection will just result in confused users with 
reduced functionality drivers.
