Depending on MACH_INGENIC prevent us from creating a generic kernel that
works on more than one MIPS board. Instead, we just depend on MIPS being
set.

If this isn't actually useful on MIPS without MACH_INGENIC this is
better expressed using:

	depends on MIPS
	depends on MACH_INGENIC || COMPILE_TEST

This way some configuring a mips kernel without INGENIC isn't bothered
by this question.

Best regards
Uwe

As said in the commit message, it is useful on MIPS without 
MACH_INGENIC,
if you want to create a generic kernel that works on more than one MIPS
board.

Ah, mips is different than arm here. If you configure a generic kernel
that supports arm/imx and some others the Kconfig settings for imx are still
available. Would it make more sense to do:

	depends on MACH_INGENIC || MIPS_GENERIC || COMPILE_TEST

then? Or switch mips to the (IMHO) more intuitive approach that is taken
by arm, too? (i.e. ensure that MACH_INGENIC is =y for both a generic
kernel that supports this machine type among others and a tailored
kernel that only supports Ingenic.)
