 Umm, I missed this one previously and this is wrong.  We use this driver 
for the DECstation machines (CONFIG_MIPS/CONFIG_MACH_DECSTATION) and those 
do not use (nor indeed have) port I/O as they are TURBOchannel systems and 
they only have a single (memory) address space.  Consequently their DS1287 
chip is memory-mapped (in a linear fashion actually, i.e. there's no 
visible address/data register and individual locations are accessible with 
single CPU instructions), cf. arch/mips/include/asm/mach-dec/mc146818rtc.h 
(that probably ought to be converted to `readb'/`writeb' one day).

 So this has to be sorted differently, perhaps by just:

+	depends on HAS_IOPORT || MACH_DECSTATION

 Note that other machines handled by the MIPS port do use port I/O, cf. 
arch/mips/include/asm/mach-*/mc146818rtc.h.
