This is indeed not the original intention. A fix to solve a build
problem slipped in that actually changed the dependency from the
original NETFILTER to BRIDGE_NETFILTER.
The attached patch reverts this change.

Hi all,
Since a while I noticed that ebtables configuration is dependent upon
CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER.
Is there any specific reason for this ? There was not this dependency
in the past and on top of it the description of bridge-netfilter in
net/KConfig says the opposite:
" Enabling this option will let arptables resp. iptables see bridged
ARP resp. IP traffic. If you want a bridging firewall, you probably
want this option enabled.
Enabling or disabling this option doesn't enable or disable
ebtables.
If unsure, say N."
Thanks,
Sebastien
