I can't really folow that logic.

If we define CONFIG_HARD_SPI, then I don't see why CONFIG_MPC8XXX_SPI
is needed at all if we're on a MPC8XXX system - that seems  redundant
to  me.  On the other hand, if you want to use CONFIG_MPC8XXX_SPI and
this implies that CONFIG_HARD_SPI must be set, too,  then  it  should
automatically  set  this  variable  instead of causing the compile to
fail.

This assumes that we use only one SPI  controller  (built-in  on  the
CPU/SOC).  We  should  also  keep  in  mind what happens when you use
CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, eventually even simultaneously.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
