Changed now, but I only saw your message after I had already sent out v5 of
the patch. I'll hold off on sending v6 for the moment, in case someone else
notices something odd.
I generally prefer having the extra dependencies like this, because it documents
what the requirement is, and causes a config-time warning before the kernel
runs into a link failure when someone else gets the dependency wrong later.
I don't feel too strongly about it though, and I don't expect adding a comment
would help much either here, so I'm leaving it without that line.
