Without that patch, a user can't select the imxfb driver when the i.MX25 and/or
  the i.MX27 device tree board are selected and that no boards that selects
  IMX_HAVE_PLATFORM_IMX_FB are compiled in.

- Added better explanations of why that patch is needed in the commit message.

Or simply have it depend on ARCH_MXC?

	depends on FB && ARCH_MXC

but not all MXC have IMX_FB : isn't that a problem ?

Is it really a problem that you see this option when you configure an
imx51 kernel?  The prompt clearly tells you do not need this option for
an imx51 kernel.  Or will it cause any real problem even if you select
it for an imx51 kernel, except you build in a driver which will never be
instantiated?  I've seen drivers even start drop ARCH_* dependency to
get a better randconfig build test coverage.

not really a problem for me. If the policy is not to narrow the choices
to only the SOC which have the peripheral then we follow it and take
your ARCH_MXC approach which is far simpler.
