It's just the ac97 drivers that are mutually exclusive. I'm not sure whether
it makes sense to make the whole platforms mutually exclusive for this.

Also this is not limited to tegra and imx. As more platforms are converted
to multiplatform ARM the same issue will pop up for other platforms as well.
I don't think your solution will scale really well for multiple platforms.
The best solution would of course be to make AC97 work properly with
multiple AC97 drivers. But maybe we can get away with a 'choice' Kconfig
entry which allows you to select which platforms AC97 driver you want to build.
