Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: sparx5: add missing lan969x Kconfig dependency

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

The sparx5 switchdev driver can be built either with or without support
for the Lan969x switch. However, it cannot be built-in when the lan969x
driver is a loadable module because of a link-time dependency:

arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: drivers/net/ethernet/microchip/sparx5/sparx5_main.o:(.rodata+0xd44): undefined reference to `lan969x_desc'

Add a Kconfig dependency to reflect this in Kconfig, allowing all
the valid configurations but forcing sparx5 to be a loadable module
as well if lan969x is.

Fixes: 98a01119608d ("net: sparx5: add compatible string for lan969x")
Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

Side note: given that lan969x is always built as part of sparx5,
wouldn't it make more sense to move all of it into the sparx5
subdirectory?
