Having such narrow dependencies is wrong. The same device is present on
DaVinci DA830 too. A depends on should not be required at all since the
driver should build on all architectures. But I have seen resistance to
doing that since users don't like to see configuration options totally
irrelevant for the architecture they are building for. So may be take a
middle path and do 'depends on ARCH_ARM'?
