This could probably be depends on PCI_BRCMSTB, which would imply these
two conditions. PCI_BRCMSTB_MSI on its own is probably not very useful
without the parent RC driver.

Should we combine this file with the brcmstb-pci.o? There is probably no
functional difference, except that pci-brcmstb-msi.ko needs to be loaded
first, right?
