Merely enabling I2C and RTC selects REGMAP_I2C and REGMAP_SPI, even when
no driver needs it.  While the former can be moduler, the latter cannot,
and thus becomes built-in.

Fix this by moving the select statements for REGMAP_I2C and REGMAP_SPI
from the RTC_I2C_AND_SPI helper to the individual drivers that depend on
it.

Note that the comment for RTC_I2C_AND_SPI refers to SND_SOC_I2C_AND_SPI
for more information, but the latter does not select REGMAP_{I2C,SPI}
itself, and defers that to the individual drivers, too.

Hi Geert

What are you doing to get this changed output?
scripts/get_maintainer.pl
0001-rtc-i2c-spi-Avoid-inclusion-of-REGMAP-support-when-n.patch
quoted
I get the same get_maintainer address output either way
with only with the 'blamed_fixes:' content added.
Thanks, I can confirm it's fixed in next-20200110.
With v5.5-rc6, it still gives the old addresss.
Well, OK, get_maintainer is the same but there is a
different .mailmap in -next
Indeed.

However, I think the precedence should be

    MAINTAINERS > .mailmap > SoB in referenced commit

instead of

    .mailmap > SoB in referenced commit > MAINTAINERS

Do you agree?
Thanks!

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
