Hmm, this changeset also went in through the v4l tree?

BTW, I got confused:
  - make allmodconfig causes e.g.:
        CONFIG_VIDEO_HELPER_CHIPS_AUTO=y
        CONFIG_VIDEO_TVAUDIO=m
    => good
  - make oldconfig for my config with almost everything selected,
except for stuff I know that breaks:
        CONFIG_VIDEO_HELPER_CHIPS_AUTO=y
        # CONFIG_VIDEO_TVAUDIO is not set
    and no way to manually set CONFIG_VIDEO_TVAUDIO=y?
    => bad!

Is this intentional?
