I think there are global symbols in the driver such that if you build it into the kernel, it can conflict with other kernel modules. Try a 'make allyesconfig' build after changing that option to see if there are build errors. Or even better yet, look at the changelog comments for the Kconfig file for the driver to see why that dependancy is there (hint, that will tell you why this is the way it is...)
