Subject: watchdog: indydog: Add dependency on SGI_HAS_INDYDOG
From: Matt Redfearn <[email protected]>
commit 24f8d233074badd4c18e4dafd2fb97d65838afed upstream.
Commit da2a68b3eb47 ("watchdog: Enable COMPILE_TEST where possible") enabled building the Indy watchdog driver when COMPILE_TEST is enabled. However, the driver makes reference to symbols that are only defined for certain platforms are selected in the config. These platforms select SGI_HAS_INDYDOG. Without this, link time errors result, for example when building a MIPS allyesconfig.

Fix this by ensuring that CONFIG_INDIDOG can only be selected when the necessary dependent platform symbols are built in.
