Fix up the dependencies to make the driver actually compile on Ralink WiSoC.

I don't think this is a proper way to handle this. rt2x00pci.c was only meant to be used for PCI devices; introducing the use of CONFIG_PCI in that file doesn't seem appropriate to me.

Unfortunately I am away from my home computer, so I can't look at this properly until the weekend.

Indeed not the cleanest patch ... after changing the config symbols
I realized that that is not enough to make the driver actually work

It turns out that inside openwrt the compat-wireless package sets
CONFIG_RT2800PCI=m to make the driver build and then applies the
#ifdef'ery to rt2880pci.c

I will try to find the time today or tomorrow to have a closer look at this
Any more word on this?
Gabor posted a series as RFC that would fix this properly ->
