Subject: misc devices: do not enable by default
From: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de>

Do not enable this Kconfig menu by default since it contains devices not
present on the majority of systems.

This is becoming a pain and a waste of time especially when doing a bunch
of kernel builds on different systems daily and have to answer "make
oldconfig" prompts for strange devices.
