Re: [PATCH v2] stmmac: cleanup dead dependencies on STMMAC_PLATFORM and STMMAC_ETH in Kconfig

Hi Geert,

With the patch applied, I've attempted to configure the kernel
with STMMAC_PLATFORM=y while STMMAC_ETH=m but menuconfig gives this
error message:
"This feature depends on another which has been configured as a module.
As a result, this feature will be built as a module."

So it looks to me like this patch hasn't actually changed any kconfig
behavior, but let me know if I'm missing something.

Best regards,
Julian Braha
