Mixing 'select' and 'depends on' causes recursive dependencies, and
there are already lots of drivers that do 'depends on RESET_CONTROLLER'.

Most users of this symbol seem to follow the strategy of selecting
RESET_CONTROLLER when a driver is there to provide the functionality,
but depending on it when a driver uses it. We are however a bit
inconsistent here and it would be nice to clean it up.

In this particular patch, I'm just following what others do.

We should probably 'select ARCH_HAS_RESET_CONTROLLER' unconditionally
for ARM ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM, as it's a bit silly to select both
ARCH_HAS_RESET_CONTROLLER and RESET_CONTROLLER from platform code.
