Platforms with a PCI bus will be offered the RapidIO menu since they may
be want support for a RapidIO PCI device. Platforms without a PCI bus
that might include a RapidIO IP block will need to "select HAS_RAPIDIO"
in the platform-/machine-specific "config ARCH_*" Kconfig entry.

Tested that kernel builds for arm64 with RapidIO subsystem and
switch drivers enabled, also that the modules load successfully
on a custom Aarch64 Qemu model.

Thanks, this looks much cleaner than before:

The only thing I'm not sure about is why we don't just select HAS_RAPIDIO
unconditionally in the arm64 Kconfig. Does selecting only that option
actually pull in new code to the build?
HAS_RAPIDIO option is intended for SOCs that have built in SRIO
controllers, like TI KeyStoneII or FPGAs. Because RapidIO subsystem core
is required during RapidIO port driver initialization, having separate
option allows us to control available build options for RapidIO core and
port driver (bool vs. tristate) and disable module option if port driver
is configured as built-in.
I am thinking about where HAS_RAPIDIO option can be set for arm64 branch.
Having it set globally is too broad. For example we have Xilinx Zinq US
board with SRIO IP on it. Having it globally in arm64 branch - bad. Probably
having it set in drivers/soc/... is the best place.

Will, Alexei what do you think?
Since the HAS_RAPIODIO flag adds meta info about SoC, maybe the line
that 'select's it can go where the rest of the meta info is, which
differs across architectures:
* For ARM64, in arch/arm64/Kconfig.platforms under each config ARCH_*
for each SoC that includes RapidIO.
* For ARM, in arch/arm/mach-*/Kconfig

But, if we want the flag to be automatically selected for some larger
set of ARM64 SoCs without explicitly adding it to each one, then the
above is not going to do that.
