I think you are on the wrong track. the cx8800 appears to be the driver
for the Conexant 2388x chipset. the Conexant 2388x *chipset* is the
successor to the BT878 *chipset*, but you still need BT848 driver if you
have a bt848/bt878 chipset.

and make xconfig gives no more info than make menuconfig, just presented
differently (hint, the "help" button in menuconfig is what you are
looking for)
