No, this mux is only used at Yossi's boards, I expect these two configurations is under
MUX's hardware driver Kconfig if it is existed, or under its platform defconfig. Someone
has already complained too many selects increase the code size:

Thanks, I see it judges NULL pointer, then it is OK.

Sorry, I did not notice drivers/usb/chipidea/core.c also includes <linux/mux/consumer.h>.
