It doesn't make much sense to enable ISDN services if you don't
intend to connect to a network. 

I would disagree. However what I don't understand and you've not
explained is why the current code is a bug or a problem ?

This seems to be a make-work inconvenience causing patch that serves no
useful purpose ?

The ISDN drivers are peppered with CONFIG_NETDEVICES protection,
but there are missing cases in several locations.

This is ugly, and causes build problems, so adding the dependency
is the cleanest and most correct soluation and I fully intend
to apply this patch.
