Uh, you're right, sorry for the brain fart. This is being said, I
see no other driver selecting the PM option directly (if you grep for
'select PM' in drivers/, you'll find occurrences in drivers/soc, but
those are under ARCH_/SOC_ options, which means they are indirectly
arch/platform dependent, not driver dependent). I'm really not sure
selecting PM here from a driver is right to be honest.

Looks like the kbuild bot didn't catch that yet :-).

Mind sending a fix for that?
