The bgmac driver depends on BCMA_HOST_SOC, which is only used
when CONFIG_BCMA is enabled. However, it is a bool option and can
be set when CONFIG_BCMA=m, and then bgmac can be built-in, leading
to an obvious link error:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `bgmac_init':
:(.init.text+0x7f2c): undefined reference to `__bcma_driver_register'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `bgmac_exit':
:(.exit.text+0x110a): undefined reference to `bcma_driver_unregister'

To avoid this case, we need to depend on both BCMA and BCMA_SOC,
as this patch does. I'm also trying to make the dependency more
readable by splitting it into three lines, and adding a COMPILE_TEST
alternative so we can test-build it in all configurations that
support BCMA.

Right, I'll resend the patch with improved changelog. This series
is mostly patches for old and rare randconfig bugs, so I had built
thousands of configurations and fixed up everything until new warnings
or errors kept coming up. The FIXED_PHY error came up in the same
driver so I merged the two patches but did not notice how the changelog
failed to explain it.

Thanks,
