Remove the dependency with ARCH_SPRD from sprd serial/console Kconfig-s,
since we want them can be built-in when ARCH_SPRD is set as 'm'.

Why would you want a serial driver for a specific platform to be builtin,
while all other platform support is modular?

Oh, that's not this patch means.

We just want serial driver can be builtin for any platform, so it
should not depend on a config which can be set as 'm' (i.e. ARCH_SPRD)
, otherwise if the config was set as 'm', the serial driver can't be
selected as 'y' then.

That's what I mean.

Cheers,
Chunyan
