    This looks better than what was posted earlier, but I am not
    sure if platforms should influence driver configuration this
    way.

    I guess I am just afraid that this makes a precedent for
    many driver config symbols to get replicated in the platform
    Kconfig files.

    Lets see if others have an opinion on this.

    Thanks,
    Sekhar
