Hans de Goede aaac4a2ead mfd: axp20x-i2c: Document that this must be builtin on x86
On x86 the AXP288 PMIC provides an ACPI OpRegion handler, which must be
available before other drivers using it are loaded, which can only be
ensured if the MFD, OpRegion and i2c-bus drivers are built-in.

Since the AXP20x MFD code is used on non x86 too we cannot simply change
this into a bool, I've tried some Kconfig magic with if x86 but I could
not get this working correctly, so this commit just documents that this
should be built-in on x86, which fixes errors like these during boot:

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
