Well, it is true. If you have the Ubiquiti board selected, that will allow you
to select the PCI code to be built. If you select the PCI code as well, then
pci-ath724x.c will be compiled into the kernel. Due to the nature of the
'arch_initcall' macro the PCI controller always gets registered. If you have
another board selected along with the Ubiquiti, and you are trying to run the
kernel on the other board, the PCI controller will be registered on that as well.
