[PATCH] ARM: multi_v7_defconfig: Enable CROS_EC_PROTO for ChromeOS EC mfd driver

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

The ChromeOS mfd driver (MFD_CROS_EC) select the CROS_EC_PROTO config
symbol because the driver uses some communication helper functions in
drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec_proto.c but other drivers depends on
CROS_EC_PROTO instead. Mixing select and depends can lead to circular
Kconfig dependencies so the MFD_CROS_EC select should be changed to a
depends on CROS_EC_PROTO instead.

But doing so will break git bisect-ability since MFD_CROS_EC will not
be enabled anymore unless the default configs first explicitly enable
the CROS_EC_PROTO dependency.

Applied to cros/ec-config in arm-soc, which will stay stable in case others
need to bring in as a prereq.

Thanks but Bartolomiej's feedback [0] on my patch that made CROS_EC_PROTO
a user selectable option was to leave it as a non-visible option and instead
change the other Kconfig symbols to select CROS_EC_PROTO consistently.

So tomorrow I'll post a new patch series along those lines that will make
this patch obsolete since no defconfig changes will be needed.

IOW, please drop this patch and sorry for the inconvenience.
