Yes there's a problem. Removing that is going to make all the custom
.config files unbootable almost certainly. Just search around on
issues related to not having REGULATOR_FIXED_VOLTAGE selected.

I agree we should not force select things though. And the I2C selection
at least is wrong, we can have PMICs that are not on I2C bus.

Anybody got better ideas what we should do to make the configuration
options more intuitive?
