I would like those drivers to be enabled in some defconfig, so we get
compile-time coverage, but we generally stopped having one-config-per-board
files.

Maybe we can have a pxa_defconfig file that enables lots of boards
and then we remove the individual configs? We don't have to remove
them all at once, but it would make me very happy if we could at
least kill off some of the ones that are not used regularly.
