The code guarded by TEGRA210_EMC_TABLE makes use of some symbols that
are only available if ARCH_TEGRA_210_SOC is also defined. If we don't
list the dependencies via Kconfig this could lead to a problem where
somebody selected TEGRA210_EMC_TABLE without having a dependency on
ARCH_TEGRA_210_SOC, which would then lead to a build error.
If we do represent the dependency in Kconfig, we'll get a warning like
the above during the configuration step and the offending Kconfig option
will end up disabled, and avoid the build failure.
Granted, this could be caught during patch review, and yes, there's not
technically a need to encode this using Kconfig dependencies, but at the
same time there's also no reason not to use the safeguards we have at
our disposal to avoid this in a more automated way.
I'd prefer to stick with the explicit dependency in Kconfig, so I've
updated the patch to match the dependencies to that of TEGRA210_EMC.
