   * example, an entity view display contains a formatter having a setting
   * pointing to an arbitrary config entity. When that config entity is deleted,

   * removal by updating its configuration.

   * This method must return TRUE if the removal event updated the plugin
   * configuration or FALSE otherwise.

   * @param array $dependencies

   *   Dependency types are 'config', 'content', 'module' and 'theme'.

   * @return bool
   *   TRUE if the plugin configuration has changed, FALSE if not.
