The combination of

"In general it should only be enabled if necessary."

and

"default y" / "If unsure, say Y."

looks weird.


Also right now it is not possible to disable detection on non-DMI
configurations. But when using OF, custom kernel code or userspace
instantiation then neither DMI nor CONFIG_DETECT are necessary.

The following would support those usecases, too:

config SENSORS_SPD5118_DETECT
	bool "Enable detect function"
	depends on SENSORS_SPD5118
	default !DMI

(And no "select SENSORS_SPD5118_DETECT if !DMI")

.address_list is also only needed with CONFIG_SENSORS_SPD5118_DETECT.


If you use

.detect         = IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SENSORS_SPD5118_DETECT) ?  spd5118_detect : NULL,
.address_list   = IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SENSORS_SPD5118_DETECT) ?  normal_i2c : NULL,

then the need for __maybe_unused goes away and type checking is a tiny
bit better.
