I'm unable to test this on my randconfig setup, but the patch
looks sensible to me.

Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

In the dependency loop above, I think the PHYLIB bit should also
be changed, but that is an independent problem.

I see that OF_IRQ still depends on !SPARC, which may be another
source for problems, so it's possible that anything that tries
to use OF_IRQ causes a build failure on sparc as well.
