What about "DRV" or even "D" if you insist? CONFIG_D_I2C_SOFT ?
I personally find the config files pretty unreadable. Options that
enable a driver should be different from those that select a
behaviour, in my opinion.
While people responsible for their board know all the stuff they
wrote, but when someone undergoes a more general code change several or
all config files must be checked. A driver namespace would help, in my
opionion.
