Currently CONFIG_BCMA does not select anything else, it just depends on
CONFIG_BCMA_POSSIBLE, when CONFIG_BCMA is selected CONFIG_BCMA_HOST_PCI
will be activated automatically, so for the case of a PCIe card it
should work with "select BCMA" in brcmsmac, CONFIG_BCMA_POSSIBLE is set
for all normal PCs.

In b43 we do the same with CONFIG_SSB and I do not know of any problems.
