I generally try to avoid having select statements where a
depends on works fine, as in the generic TWL4030_CORE config.

For platforms that require TWL4030, this does not work, although
it would be better not to have this strict dependency and make
the configuration build if the driver is disabled, even if that
is rather pointless.
