Yeah that's legacy junk, nuke it at your liking.

I think the concern was to not build everything on the stock
vanilla release.

How about something very simple:

  * Enable all by default

  * Use Kconfig to allow us to select 4 subsystems:
    - Ethernet
    - WiFi
    - Bluetooth
    - DRM

This way we'd keep the logic easy for an initial implementation
to support Kconfig (scripts/kconfig/mconf.c) and then build on
top of it to expand specifics.
