ipmi: ASPEED_BT_IPMI_BMC: select REGMAP_MMIO instead of depending on it
[ Upstream commit 2a587b9ad052e7e92e508aea90c1e2ae433c1908 ]
REGMAP is a hidden (not user visible) symbol. Users cannot set it
directly thru "make *config", so drivers should select it instead of
depending on it if they need it.
Consistently using "select" or "depends on" can also help reduce
Kconfig circular dependency issues.
Therefore, change the use of "depends on REGMAP_MMIO" to
"select REGMAP_MMIO", which will also set REGMAP.
