Currently, QUICC_ENGINE depends on PPC32, so this in itself does not
change anything. In order to allow removing the PPC32 dependency from
QUICC_ENGINE and avoid allmodconfig build failures, add this explicit
dependency.

Can you add an explanation why we don't want ucc_geth on non-PowerPC platforms?

I think it is because the QE Ethernet was never integrated in any
non-PowerPC SoC and most likely will not be in the future.  We
probably can make it compile for other architectures for general code
quality but it is not a priority.
