Subject: [PATCH] Input: misc - atmel_captouch does not depend on OF

The atmel_captouch driver does not actually depend on OF, it includes
a non-OF device ID which could be used to instantiate the device, and
the driver code is already prepared to be built with or without OF. So
drop the unneeded dependency.

The problem I'm trying to solve here is that "depends on OF ||
COMPILE_TEST" does not make sense since OF can now be enabled on all
architectures. One way to fix this is by removing the dependency
altogether (this patch).

If the driver is known to be needed only on OF-enabled systems then we
could leave the dependency on OF and only drop COMPILE_TEST (and
simplify the driver code accordingly). I have an alternative patch
doing that already. Tell me what you prefer, I'm fine either way.
