What?

Randy, do you even *read* what you write? Or, perhaps even more
importantly, what *other* people write?

It's not that those individual MUX drivers need to be selected to be
asked about.

But they won't be asked about UNLESS SOMEBODY WANTS A MULTIPLEXER.

What is your problem here?

Basically, you will only see those questions if you have a driver (or
subsystem) that does

select MULTIPLEXER

to let the Kconfig know that "yes, I'm actually interested".

If there is no use for those mux drivers, the "depends on MULTIPLEXER"
means that those STUPID AND POINTLESS questions won't be asked.

What's so hard to understand about this?

Linus
