Thanks for your patch, which is now commit 51dfb612ab3becf9 ("PCI: Drop
controller CONFIG_OF dependencies") in pci/next.

This is exactly why we have the COMPILE_TEST symbol.
There is no point in bothering all users who configure kernels with
questions about drivers that won't function anyway due to missing
dependencies, unless the user explicitly wants to do compile-testing.
So all of these should become:
depends on OF || COMPILE_TEST

This one was fine.

Thanks in advance for reverting or fixing!
