Hi,
Thanks a lot for review.

ARCH_SUNPLUS will be defined for Sunplus family series SoC.
Ethernet devices of Sunplus are designed and used for Sunplus SoC.
So far, only two SoC of Sunplus have the network device.
I'd like to show up the selection only for Sunplus SoC.

I am not sure if this is mandatory or not.
Should I add COMPILE_TEST as below?
depends on ARCH_SUNPLUS | COMPILE_TEST

Yes, the device is now only for Sunplus SP7021 SoC.
Devices in each SoC may have a bit difference because of adding new
function or improving something.
