And just in case, I also have an idea how to fix such dependencies for 
drivers without DT (by adding hard-wired dependencies directly to 
drivers). That would also be usable for ACPI and x86.

But one step after another. Based on my past experiences, I don't even 
think the stuff I've just posted will ever end up in the kernel.
