PIIX4 and compatible controllers are only for X86. As some headers are
being moved into x86 specific headers PIIX4 won't compile on non-x86.

Thanks for your patch, which is now commit 7e173eb82ae97175
("i2c: piix4: Make CONFIG_I2C_PIIX4 dependent on CONFIG_X86")
in v6.16-rc1.

Are you sure this south-bridge is not used on non-x86 platforms?
It is enabled in several non-x86 defconfigs:

     arch/loongarch/configs/loongson3_defconfig:CONFIG_I2C_PIIX4=y
     arch/mips/configs/ip27_defconfig:CONFIG_I2C_PIIX4=m
     arch/mips/configs/loongson2k_defconfig:CONFIG_I2C_PIIX4=y
     arch/mips/configs/loongson3_defconfig:CONFIG_I2C_PIIX4=y

The loongarch and loongson entries are probably bogus, but I wouldn't
be surprised if the SGI Onyx and Origin do use Intel south-bridges.
Loongson can use AMD SB700/SB800 south bridges, which have I2C_PIIX4.

Well we could revert this patch, but it's going to be a compile failure because of 624b0d5696a89b138408d385899dd35372db324b and other patches that go on top of that.

My current leaning is we make a dummy fch.h header for these archs with #defines for 0.

Any thoughts?

           If you say yes to this option, support will be included for the Intel
