Make sata_mv host driver depend on PCI || ARCH_KIRKWOOD || ARCH_MVEBU ||
ARCH_ORION5X config options as Marvell SATA support covers both Marvell
PCI devices and Marvell Kirkwood, Armada 370/XP and Orion5x SoCs (for
non-PCI devices the driver to work requires suitable device tree node to
be defined).  Additionally allow the driver build if COMPILE_TEST config
option is set.
Hi Bartlomiej

I _think_ there are a few powerpc platforms which can also make use of
this driver.
Currently no powerpc platform uses this driver for non-PCI devices and
looking at commits history for powerpc dts files it seems that it also
hasn't happened in the past.

I think that the current patch is sufficient as we can always relax
dependencies later if the need for it shows up + there is a possibility
to (ab)use COMPILE_TEST for older kernels.

Best regards,
