Yes, I think that we can just drop it. That effectively reverts Joe's
change. The reason I added the select wasn't for building, but just for
practicality - MTD_SPI_NOR enables the driver of the devices attached.

As above, I think that we can drop the select for now. I'll do some
building test for that - even though it should be same as pre-e14572c52546

Thanks
