> Subject: [PATCH 6/8] platform: x86: MLX_PLATFORM: select REGMAP instead
> of depending on it
>
> REGMAP is a hidden (not user visible) symbol. Users cannot set it directly thru
> "make *config", so drivers should select it instead of depending on it if they
> need it.
>
> Consistently using "select" or "depends on" can also help reduce Kconfig
> circular dependency issues.
>
> Therefore, change the use of "depends on REGMAP" to "select REGMAP".
