Question is whether we really want that I2C_MUX restricts the choice for
I2C_I801. Alternatively we can skip building the mux part in the problem case.
The mux part can be used on very few old Asus systems with > 8 memory slots only.
Proposal I sent:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/4dhfyaefnw2rtx5q7aaum6pfwha5o3vs65iqcrj2ghps34ubtw@b3bw3gggudjs/T/

Note also the CI bot tags, as the problem was reported by a CI bot before.
