I guess there's no harm in it.

That does mean you'll need a bespoke defconfig to run your build,
which is not advisable for generic maintenance and testing purposes.
What architecture does your H/W operate on?

That's not right.  You're saying:

  "Simple Multi-Functional Device device"

It should be something more like:

  "Simple Multi-Functional Device support (I2C)"
 	depends on I2C
 	select REGMAP_I2C
