exactly that is my problem. The dependency doesn't make sense and
should be removed IMHO. Options like DM_PCI should be interpreted as
"this platform with its drivers support PCI witrh DM". It doesn't nake
sense to let an user choose this option. I just wanted to point out
this inconsistency. Maybe Simon has an opinion about that.

with the current state it's either "select DM_PCI & PCI" as you
suggested or adding CONFIG_DM_PCI=y and CONFIG_PCI=y to your defconfig.
The choice mainly depends on whether a subsystem driver like GPIO using
DM_PCI is optional for the user or is always required. 

Anyway all Octeon drivers using DM_PCI API needs a "depends on DM_PCI"
so that you can't enable those drivers without enabling DM_PCI.
Otherwise an user will get build errors.
