Yes, the idea was to save some memory building pcie backend for
the requested chip family only.

Ok, sounds reasonable. Three Kconfig options for the single qtnfmac_pcie
module is way too much. We will drop chipset specific Kconfig knobs in
v2, keeping single Kconfig option for qtnfmac_pcie backend as a whole.
