I've kept it for two reasons.

The first one is that I can't compile-test all those drivers on all 
architectures. The spi-sh-msiof driver, for instance, uses io(read|write)(16|
32) which are not available on all architectures. There might be other similar 
problems that I can't catch, and I don't want to introduce build breakages in 
the kernel.

The second reason is that, as the IP cores have never been used on anything 
but SuperH and ARM, I don't like the idea of clobbering the config process 
with drivers that are useless on the target architecture. Now that we have a 
COMPILE_TEST Kconfig option, my preference would thus go to SUPERH || ARM || 
COMPILE_TEST over no dependency at all.
