It is correct that the mechanism only works for irqchip drivers that
are probed through the Device Tree. However, having a "depends on"
inside a configuration that gets "select"ed by other configuration
options (in our case ARCH_BCM2835 and ARCH_MVEBU select USE_IRQCHIP) is
useless: kconfig doesn't care of the "depends on" dependencies when
you're "select"ing an option.
So, I can add it for documentation purposes, but it is practically
useless.
Best regards,
Thomas
