This makes SWIOTLB user configurable, which in turn results in

mips64-linux-ld: arch/mips/kernel/setup.o: in function `arch_mem_init':
setup.c:(.init.text+0x19c8): undefined reference to `plat_swiotlb_setup'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1280: vmlinux] Error 1

when building mips:allmodconfig.

Should this possibly be "depends on SWIOTLB" ?

Thanks,
