Is there a good reason against adding "depends on REGULATOR_PBIAS"
to MMC_OMAP_HS? I guess it's required for most systems and the regulator
driver is just 250 loc. I am aware, that this will disable the
hsmmc driver for 'make oldconfig', but I guess that will be noticed
in a similar way your warning is noticed.

The advantage of having the depends line is, that people configuring
their kernel have a chance to notice the regulator requirement
during configuration.

Anyways, this message improves the situation, so:
