Hmm. I'm getting this when testing:

  warning: (AHCI_XGENE) selects PHY_XGENE which has unmet direct
dependencies (HAS_IOMEM && OF && (ARM64 || COMPILE_TEST))

which looks like AHCI_XGENE doesn't have the proper dependency on OF
(or alternatively PHY_XGENE has an incorrect dependemcy on OF).

According to google it looks like Fengguang reported this on
kbuild-all, but nowhere else.

The actual build then succeeds. But the Kconfig warning is real and
implies that something is seriously wrong wrt the dependencies for
this thing.

It looks like the "select PHY_XGENE" came in through the libata
update, but this USB update actually brought in the "config PHY_XGENE"
and thus this error. Which makes me wonder how this all worked. Why
does that "select PHY_XGENE" exist when apparently it's not needed?

Regardless, there's something broken somewhere.
