For the Kconfig, I think it is better to keep the thing the
same as others. And I guess this question may be related to
some compromise that I do not know, and it is a hard thing
for me to answer.

Oh, I have forgot to reply to the binding.

Currently, I disagree to add something in the select, as a
new binding is always required for a new device. Even if it
is already supported in the existing kernel, the new device
is required to add at least a new compatiable string for it.
