This is the driver for the Power-management IC on the board. Without
this IC being correctly configured, I'm guessing a lot of things will
fail. Not so sure if anything will go up in smoke (sounds unlikely), or
if the kernel will fail to boot - I'll check quickly - but for this one
specific instance, I think it's reasonable to accept a default y.

Kevin/Tony can probably confirm.

Greg,

For other instances of unnecessary "default y", do you think they should
be removed?
