There's no compile-time dependency, but this driver will be pretty
useless if all its users have the NAND controller node defined in their
DT and CONFIG_OF is not enabled. I guess the OF option is selected by
arches, so explicitly depending on OF is only relevant if you change
the dependency rules as suggested in my other reply.
