What I said in <1337687765.11796.11.camel@deadeye> was:

That's because CONFIG_STMMAC_PLATFORM and CONFIG_STMMAC_PCI are wrongly
declared as tristate in Kconfig.  Change them to bool and it should work
again.

You can't add a 'Reviewed-by' line on the basis of this; you can only
add it if a reviewer writes that line themselves (and if you don't make
further changes).
