We could make CONFIG_OF depend on CONFIG_HAVE_OF_SUPPORT and let OF select OF_EARLY_FLATTREE if ARCH_WANT_EARLY_FLATTREE for instance. So that part would work in a generic way.
For OF-only platforms you would have to go to drivers/of before you can enable the specific SoC/board. So it could lead to something like "first enable scsi disk before you can enable usb storage".
I like it :) For now I rename to USE_OF.
