No, bridge stuff is not really a dependency. Only many configurations use is
to bridge the bat0 and for example the ethernet interface together. The
dependencies of 0.2 are currently PROC_FS and PACKET.

Just as side note for the futyre: Configure the mtu of bat0 to match the mtu
of your other devices in the bridge or otherwise big packets will be dropped
while bridging.

@Andrew: We don't depend on PACKET after the merge of the skb based transfers.
Please remove it from Kconfig - we need NET instead.

Best regards,
Sven
