One very minor comment: I wonder if we should make this 

	depends on RESET_CONTROLLER
	depends on MACH_SUN6I || COMPILE_TEST

instead so we have better build coverage. I haven't tested if building
on other architectures works, or if there are additional dependencies.

No need to change this if there are no other comments.
