I think this is not as cut and dry. We should be able to select needed
subsystems (such as INPUT, USB, etc) even if they are user visible.
User, when enabling a piece of hardware, does not need to know ultimate
details of all subsystems the driver might need ti function.

It looks like one of the drivers implies MFD_INTEL_LPSS_PCI, maybe
treating imply the same as select when detecting circular dependency is
wrong as we are allowed to deselect implied dependencies?

I have no idea what applespi.c is (it is definitely not in my tree), so
I think it should be merged through the same tree that the original
commit was introduced through.

Keeping "select RC_CORE" is wrong though, as the driver appears to be
working find without RC. Maybe it should be stubbed out?

Thanks.
