These headers should not be here. When using git-send-email, this will be handled
automatically, but if you send the patch from a regular email client application,
you should remove them manually.

Generally, everything in this file should be moved to other files.
The rule is that the Kconfig entry belongs into the same directory
as the Makefile referencing it. E.g. the two above should
be in drivers/i2c/busses/Kconfig and drivers/net/Kconfig, and in
the same patch as the actual device driver.

Static platform devices are no longer recommended. You can change these
to use platform_device_register_simple() or a variant of it.

If you plan to convert the entire architecture to use a flattened
device tree as we discussed in an earlier review, you don't need to
bother with this now, because the entire platform device registration
you have here can then be removed.
