Sure, admittedly it was just a quick hack to get things going.
Actually I don't know why we had a *depend* on those MACH_s before. I
think technically it does not depend on a certain SoC (having the
COMPILE_TEST in there hints on that). So what about:

	depends on ARCH_SUNXI || COMPILE_TEST

and maybe:

	default y if MACH_SUN6I || MACH_SUN8I

Though I see that both multi_v7_defconfig and sunxi_defconfig explicitly
set this, so this wouldn't be needed?

Cheers,
Andre.
