Currently, QUICC_ENGINE depends on PPC32, so this in itself does not change anything. In order to allow removing the PPC32 dependency from QUICC_ENGINE and avoid allmodconfig build failures, add this explicit dependency.Can you add an explanation why we don't want ucc_geth on non-PowerPC platforms?
I think it is because the QE Ethernet was never integrated in any non-PowerPC SoC and most likely will not be in the future. We probably can make it compile for other architectures for general code quality but it is not a priority.
