Yes, this is the exact issue that this patch tries to solve.

Currently all of these are dependent on MISC_DEVICES being set.

source "drivers/misc/c2port/Kconfig"
source "drivers/misc/eeprom/Kconfig"
source "drivers/misc/cb710/Kconfig"
source "drivers/misc/iwmc3200top/Kconfig"
source "drivers/misc/ti-st/Kconfig"
source "drivers/misc/lis3lv02d/Kconfig"
source "drivers/misc/carma/Kconfig"
source "drivers/misc/altera-stapl/Kconfig"

With the patch applied it is possible to select all the drivers above
and we don't need to select MISC_DEVICES.
