I don't really see the point of this patch. Building the dtb doesn't
take any significant time, so why add this extra complexity?  

Because you need to select the SoC type in order to enable some
drivers, for example on the AR9331 to use the serial you need the
CONFIG_SERIAL_AR933X which depends on the CONFIG_SOC_AR933X.

Seeing as this driver is the only one that make use of CONFIG_SOC_AR933X
I would prefer removing this dependency. It would also open the way to have
the driver built in COMPILE_TEST. A few more fixes might be needed but that
would be better than such a workaround.
