The MCP drivers fails to compile on trial builds due to missing
Kconfig dependency on OF_GPIO. Fix it.

I did this:

        depends on (SPI_MASTER && !I2C) || I2C && OF_GPIO


But Torvalds realized we have to do it like this:

        depends on OF_GPIO
        depends on (SPI_MASTER && !I2C) || I2C

Due to some funny business in Kconfig.

OK you need to think of something, if it's not causing any regressions
on some board it's no problem.

So user stories are needed to justify this as a regression fix.

That will be for the next merge window in that case.
