Is it sensible to present this option to everyone? Maybe

Because there is now no real MFD driver anymore, there is also
no symbol for that. The closest would be ARCH_ARM64 but I don't
think that is a good idea.

Lee, what do you think about adding a symbol to the MFD, which
selects MFD_SIMPLE_MFD_I2C but doesn't enable any C modules?

I.e.
config MFD_SL28CPLD
    tristate "Kontron sl28cpld"
    select MFD_SIMPLE_MFD_I2C
    help
      Say yes here to add support for the Kontron sl28cpld board
      management controller.

Then all the other device driver could depend on the MFD_SL28CPLD
symbol.

You want to add a virtual symbol to prevent having to present a real
one?  How is that a reasonable solution?

(1) Its a symbol on which all sl28cpld will depend on. Thus they will
     all be hidden if that is not set.
(2) the drivers itself wouldn't need to depend on MFD_SIMPLE_MFD_I2C,
     which is more correct, because they don't have anything to do with
     i2c.
