[PATCH] mtd: rawnand: atmel: Add dependency on GENERIC_ALLOCATOR

[Boris Brezillon]

The driver uses genalloc functions. Add a dependency on
GENERIC_ALLOCATOR to prevent build errors when selected through
COMPILE_TEST.

Fixes: 88a40e7dca00 ("mtd: rawnand: atmel: Allow selection of this driver when COMPILE_TEST=y")

I think this kind of dependency should use a "select".

$ git grep "select.*GENERIC_ALLOCATOR" | wc -l
28
$ git grep "depends.*GENERIC_ALLOCATOR" | wc -l
1

It makes sense as it is a kind of "library" of functions, there's no
reason for the user to be aware of this dependency. HAS_IOMEM is
different, because it's a property of the architecture/platform.

Best regards,

Thomas

Indeed. I always have a hard time choosing between 'select' and 'depends
on'. Looks like I got it wrong this time too.
