Well the existing drivers/platform/x86/intel_cht_int33fe.c file,
which already is full of kludges would not get even more code-paths
added; and the new file which Yauhen will wrote should be nice and
clean with only 1 straight code-path pretty much.

That is a valid point, I'm not a fan of having even more Kconfig
options either, so we can simply enable/disable both modules through
the same Kconfig option.
