Renesas ARM platforms are transitioning from single-platform to
multi-platform kernels using the new ARCH_SHMOBILE_MULTI. Make the
driver available on all ARM platforms to enable it on both ARCH_SHMOBILE
and ARCH_SHMOBILE_MULTI and increase build testing coverage.

I'm understanding that the plan is to commit it via an ARM tree, right?

If so:
	Acked-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <m.chehab@samsung.com>

PS.: With regards to the discussions about this patch series,
I'm ok on having this enabled for all archs or just for the
archs that are known have this IP block, of course provided that
not includes to march are there.

The rationale is that, in the specific case of V4L, the platform 
drivers are already on a separate Kconfig menu, with makes no sense
to be enabled on any non SoC configuration.

Actually the plan is to get this upstream through you tree :-) However, I'm 
trying a different approach to the problem, so I'll post a new version of the 
patch set in the near future.

We will likely split dependencies on two lines in Kconfig, one for the build-
time dependencies and one for the runtime dependencies. A driver that compiles 
on ARM only and supports hardware that is present on ARCH_SHMOBILE SoCs only 
would thus have

	depends on ARM
	depends on ARCH_SHMOBILE || COMPILE_TEST

Build-time dependencies on other software components (I2C for instance) would 
be listed on the first line. The code below would become

	depends on VIDEO_DEV && I2C
	depends on ARCH_SHMOBILE || COMPILE_TEST
