Yes, we need it to be this way around at least initially so that
STMMAC_LIBPCI gets merged into people's configs.

I'd eventually suggest going the other way.

We already have:

config STMMAC_PLATFORM
        tristate "STMMAC Platform bus support"

if STMMAC_PLATFORM

... platform based drivers ...

endif

... three PCI based drivers ...

I'd suggest we do:

config STMMAC_LIBPCI
	tristate "STMMAC PCI bus support"
	depends on PCI
	...

if STMMAC_LIBPCI

... PCI based drivers ...

endif

There's no need to make everything depend on STMMAC_ETH, there's an
outer "if STMMAC_ETH" around all the platforms already.
