The lan966x clock controller depends on the LAN969x architecture or the
LAN966x SoC.

This clock controller can be used by the LAN966x PCI device and so it
needs to be available when the LAN966x PCI device is enabled.

With your proposal, if we configure a kernel without SOC_LAN966x or
ARCH_LAN969x or MCHP_LAN966X_PCI, in other words we configure a kernel
without a real needed for this clock controller driver, the user will be
asked about this driver.

This was already reported by Geert
   https://lore.kernel.org/all/369233dfded88ff6fb342e03794fe31985d84d82.1737383314.git.geert+renesas@glider.be/

I agreed with Geert that asking the user about those driver the LAN966x
depends on was not a good things and leads to confusion.

So, to prevent asking the user about this driver, I followed the same
strategy and added the dependencies.

IMHO, we should keep those dependencies here.

Best regards,
Hervé
