SUNXI_CCU, which these depend on, is still "default ARCH_SUNXI", so if
you have ARCH_SUNXI disabled, you only get any drivers if you manually
enable SUNXI_CCU. I mentioned this in the patch 2 description, but maybe
I should move that comment here.

I was trying to simplify things by hiding irrelevant options, and you
bring up an edge case of an edge case. :) I am okay with relaxing the
dependency, though I would want to leave them disabled by default for
32-bit kernels (excluding them from the change in patch 2).

That, or we could add MACH_SUN8I to the condition. I don't have a strong
opinion.
