You know, that really sucks more and more. How about doing the following:
a) making it depend on PLAT_HAS_AX88796
b) adding selects for all subarchitectures that have the corresponding
platform device
and setting that as a uniform policy for platform drivers? For things like
SM501 we would do
config MFD_SM501
depends on PCI || PLAT_HAS_SM501
etc.
Seriously, folks, we are getting shitloads of platform drivers with no
dependencies whatsoever, needed on a handful of targets and occasionally
failing to build on unrelated architectures. Moreover, having a list
of architectures in dependencies for each of those suckers is a PITA
from the conflict POV. Not to mention platform drivers that fall into
the mainline kernel with not a single platform device for them, etc.
