No, this patch cannot be dropped. Please see the kbuild complaints for
v2,23/23 about use of IS_ERR_VALUE on not-sizeof(long) entities. I see
kbuild has complained about the same thing for v3 since apparently the
same thing appears in ucc_slow.c. So I'll fix that.

When I made this comment I didn't notice you have removed all the
architectural dependencies for CONFIG_QUICC_ENGINE.  If the
QUICC_ENGINE is only buidable on powerpc, arm and arm64, this change
will not be needed.

BTW, I'm not sure if it is a good idea to make it selectable on these
unrelavent architectures.  Real architectural dependencies and
COMPILE_TEST dependency will be better if we really want to test the
buildability on other platforms.

Well, making QUICC_ENGINE depend on PPC32 || ARM would certainly make
things easier for me. Once you include ARM64 or any other 64 bit
architecture the buildbot complaints start rolling in from the
IS_ERR_VALUEs. And ARM64 should be supported as well, so there really
isn't much difference between dropping all arch restrictions and listing
the relevant archs in the Kconfig dependencies.
