While trying a fix a build warning unrelated to s3c64xx, I ran into
a circular dependency:

arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/Kconfig:42: symbol S3C64XX_PL080 default value contains DMADEVICES

sound/soc/sh/Kconfig:29: symbol SND_SOC_SH4_SIU is selected by SND_SIU_MIGOR
sound/soc/sh/Kconfig:59: symbol SND_SIU_MIGOR depends on I2C

The I2C and FB dependencies are hard to untangle, but I notice that
S3C64XX_PL080 selecting ARM_AMBA is one piece of the puzzle that
can easily be avoided, as ARCH_S3C64XX already select ARM_AMBA.
Removing the redundant 'select' now can help us in the future if we
run into a variation of the same dependency.
Yes, selecting ARM_AMBA from drivers is definitely not right; this
symbol should be selected only by platforms that want AMBA primecell
bus support, not by drivers, precisely because of these dependency
issues.

There's another case where ARM_AMBA is selected that probably needs
fixing - the coresight hwtracing code.
