depends on, do not select.
XILLYBUS and XILLYBUS_PCIE are currently enabled as M in several Linux
distributions. Making them depend on, rather than select XILLYBUS_CLASS is
likely to disable the driver in those distributions.
That's not an issue here, depends-on will allow those distros to also
enable this option.

But wait, why is this a separate option at all?  Shouldn't the class
code just be part of the "core" XILLYBUS code anyway?

thanks,
