I never know what to do here.

Sure, the driver will not be used on that architecture.  But there is some
benefit in being able to cross-compile that driver on other architectures
anyway.  Sometimes it will pick up missed #includes, sometimes printk
mismatches, various other assumptions which might be OK for x86 right now
but which might cause problems in the future.

Need to balance a very minor con against some very minor pros ;)
