TWL4030 can be enabled on other platforms - it's not tied to OMAP
(mostly to enable build coverage).

This solution doesn't seem like it scales so well either, it just shifts
it into the Kconfig files (where everything is all in central files
shared by everyone which has its own problems).  Certainly the goal of
replacing defconfig files with Kconfig seems unattainable.
