Is there a reason not to add them? It looks very useful to me:

99% of people are not interested in the MFD. They don't enable
it and are not affected at all. They do not even see extra
configuration entry due to the dependency.

0.9% of people have the MFD in their system and want their
hardware to 'just work'. With this line it's enough to enable
the MFD and the audio subsystem, so less knowledge and configuration
is required.

0.1% of people have special requirements and want the MFD
and generic audio support, but no support for the MFD audio
codec. There is a high chance, that they know how to configure
it properly :)

Ok.
