Ok, so I just checked the Makefile and noticed that there is
an ordering there. But most people start with looking at Kconfig
when adding a new driver and the ordering is very much not clear
there. Also splitting the Intel bits in three groups does not
necessariyl help IMHO. E.g  CONFIG_INTEL_CHT_INT33FE is in the
generic Intel block but it is definitely PMIC related.

And the WMI drivers are grouped, except that some of them
(Asus, Dell, EEEPC at least) are not in the group...

So I still think just sorting the entire bups alphabetically
is better. We can then also add a comment at the top to please
keep things sorted alphabetically.

Hans
