Please read the commit log more carefully.

Without explicit "depends on I2C_DESIGNWARE_PLATFORM" you'd see the DW
I2C-related menuconfig as:
[*] Synopsys DesignWare Platform
[ ] Intel Baytrail I2C semaphore support
with that "depends on I2C_DESIGNWARE_PLATFORM" added:
[*] Synopsys DesignWare Platform
[ ] Intel Baytrail I2C semaphore support
The second case presents the Baytrail semaphore as the DW I2C platform
feature. Otherwise it's just a simple menuentry. As I see it without adding
the explicit "depends on I2C_DESIGNWARE_PLATFORM" there is no need in moving
the config at all. So if you think it's a churn. Well, I'll wait for
Jarkko' comment in this regard.

BTW Jarkko asked in v3 whether it would work with just explicit "depends on"
without if-endif enclosing the config.
