Yes, selecting ARM_AMBA from drivers is definitely not right; this
symbol should be selected only by platforms that want AMBA primecell
bus support, not by drivers, precisely because of these dependency
issues.

There's another case where ARM_AMBA is selected that probably needs
fixing - the coresight hwtracing code.
