By default, not only this driver is enabled on all platforms, but also generic PM Domains and Multi-Function Devices.
Drop the "default y" to fix this.
I guess I don't really care per se, but why is this an issue?
Because it causes kernel bloat on all platforms that are not AMD SoCs. I noticed the option and the selected options were suddenly enabled when running "make ARCH=sh se7724_defconfig".
As a general use, never use "default y", unless the system fails completely in the absence of the module. Even then, there should be some dependencies listed.
