I understand the intention, but this what was written in Kconfig is
not the correct way to express it.

A lot of drivers require DMA_ENGINE support, but the linux/dmaengine.h
header file provides static inline helpers to make sure that things
still compile if that is disabled, and in the example I mentioned
above, it does build, but clearly cannot work as the real dmaengine
interfaces are not provided by the kernel.

What we could do to express the runtime dependency correctly is to add

	depends on (ARCH_AT91 && AT_HDMAC) || COMPILE_TEST

which would let the driver only be enabled in cases that have a
reasonable chance of working, but still allow it to be built
everywhere else.
