I really don't understand why MMC_SDHCI_PLTFM isn't selected by the
sub-drivers.  sdhci-pltfm.c is a library module, which is only
useful with one of the sub-drivers enabled.

So, rather than providing a multitude of dependent options, why not
present people with:

 + sdhci drivers
   + sdhci pci
   + sdhci acpi
   + Arasan
   + Freescale eSDHC
   + Nintendo Wii
   + Dove

and leave MMC_SDHCI_PLTFM as a hidden option whose purpose is to
enable building of sdhci-pltfm.c.
