The {SSB,BCMA}_POSSIBLE constants are defining the conditions under
which it is possible to 'select' SSB/BCMA.
SSB and BCMA are usually 'select'ed rather than depended on, for better
user experience while configuring.

IMO this does not clean up or simplify the code.
It rather makes it more complicated to maintain.
The idea behind the POSSIBLE constants it to _not_ spread the
conditions all across the drivers. That has significant advantages, if
the condition changes.
I also don't see the redundancy in the resulting dependency conditions
as a bad thing. It's better if every option explicitly defines its
dependencies rather than expecting something else to depend on it.
That's fragile.
NAK from me.
