I see, but is it possible that in a board you have the two? If not,
there must be a way to find the correct transceiver based on the
configuration. If yes, then there must be a way to select a sensible
one by default, rather than not having any.

This way, for example it would be possible to get rid of some lines in
a minimal n900_defconfig (used in MeeGo[1]), and eventually hopefully
get rid of all of them (except CONFIG_SND_OMAP_SOC_RX51=y).
