i2c: Let users select algorithm drivers manually again
In kernel 2.6.26, the ability to select I2C algorithm drivers manually
was removed, as all in-kernel drivers do that automatically. However
there were some complaints that it was a problem for out-of-tree I2C
bus drivers. In order to address these complaints, let's allow manual
selection of these drivers again, but still hide them by default for
better general user experience.

This support is also available as a module. If so, the module

+ Some I2C bus drivers require so-called "I2C algorithm" modules
+ to work. These are basically software-only abstractions of generic
+ I2C interfaces. This option will autoselect them so that you don't
+ have to care.
+
+ Unselect this only if you need to enable additional helper
+ modules, for example for use with external I2C bus drivers.
+
+ In doubt, say Y.
