The rtl8169 driver uses calls to dm_pci_bus_to_phys, which are compiled under CONFIG_PCI.
Without CONFIG_PCI, this happens:
drivers/net/rtl8169.o: in function `rtl_recv_common': drivers/net/rtl8169.c:555: undefined reference to `dm_pci_bus_to_phys'
It is only natural that this driver depends on CONFIG_PCI then. The device does not work connected in another way anyway, and the driver does not assume anything else at this moment.
