serial: 8250: SERIAL_8250_ASPEED_VUART should depend on ARCH_ASPEED
[ Upstream commit 806a449725cbd679a7f52c394d3c87b451d66bd5 ]
The Aspeed Virtual UART is only present on Aspeed BMC platforms. Hence
add a dependency on ARCH_ASPEED, to prevent asking the user about this
driver when configuring a kernel without Aspeed BMC support.

If you want to use the virtual UART (VUART) device on Aspeed
BMC platforms, enable this option. This enables the 16550A-
