Hmm, good point.. looks like CONFIG_NVMEM itself doesn't have any
other dependencies, so I suppose it wouldn't be the end of the world
to select that.. but I guess we don't want to require QFPROM
I guess at the end of the day, what is the failure mode if you have a
speed-bin device, but your kernel config misses QFPROM (and possibly
NVMEM)? If the result is just not having the highest clk rate(s)
available, that isn't the end of the world. But if it makes things
not-work, that is sub-optimal. Generally, especially on ARM, kconfig
seems to be way harder than it should be to build a kernel that works,
if we could somehow not add to that problem (for both people with a6xx
and older gens) that would be nice ;-)
