+ Enable the creation of VCHIQ character driver to help communicate
+ with the VideoCore platform. The cdev exposes ioctls used by
+ userspace libraries and testing tools to interact with VideoCore.
+ This can be set to 'N' if the VideoCore communication is not needed
+ by userspace but only by other kernel modules (like bcm2835-audio).
+ If not sure, set this to 'Y'.
