Well, it could run on other platforms, except:

- it requires a few properties in the device tree (local-mac- 
address,
  firmware), so it should also depend on PPC
The portions of code that require OF should have appropriate #ifdef
guards.
So you're suggesting that we change the Makefile so we can *add*
ifdefs?  Usually we do it the other way around. :)
Yeah, what was I thinking.  So use some platform hook instead.

But Arnd of course is right; if the driver (currently) only works
on a certain platform, just mark it as such in the Makefile (erm,
Kconfig file).

Hey, we should probably do that with 90% of all drivers.  But that
is a discussion for some other day :-)
