I thought it depends on how we think about it.  If we think that
ocotp is a block of soc and should be on every system based on
the soc, we should build it unconditional.  However, if we think
ocotp is a function that could either be used on a machine or not,
it should be built conditional, so that the machine does not use
ocotp function could save the ocotp build and the memory of
u32 ocotp_words[0x20].
