Yes, but this pattern makes extra footprint of the kernel and
basically dead code when I would like, for example, to have SPI bus
enabled, I2C module available, but SPI module not compiled.

Other one is when I want to have one compiled in, one as a module by
whatever reason.

At the end I have no strong opinion, though rationale for the opposite is above.
