Currently no powerpc platform uses this driver for non-PCI devices and
looking at commits history for powerpc dts files it seems that it also
hasn't happened in the past.

I think that the current patch is sufficient as we can always relax
dependencies later if the need for it shows up + there is a possibility
to (ab)use COMPILE_TEST for older kernels.
