Masahiro is right. They are user selectable.

Enable CONFIG_SOC_IMX51 and you'll get a prompt for

       TS-4800 IRQ controller

in the middle of the 'Device Drivers' menu. Same for the other options,
which have prompts. The irqchip Kconfig is included from drivers/Kconfig so
there is menu context, just not a proper one.

I agree that this is crap and these prompts should be removed and the irq
thingy selected by the stuff which needs it.

Thanks,
