The code referenced is outside of this patch, as that code was already
existing from when the driver was submitted.

I did some checking and NS2 and Cygnus do not have the registers in
use by this driver.  So, you are correct in that this driver will
never be used for them.  So, this is slightly over-permissive in
allowing a driver to be selected that could not ever be used on
non-NS/NSP hardware.  But barring an incorrect DT string, it would
only result in an slightly larger kernel than necessary.

I'll do a follow-on patch to correct this with your suggestion above,
and push it separately (unless a v4 is needed on this series).

Thanks,
Jon
