[PATCH v1] mfd: intel-lpss: Use MODULE_SOFTDEP() instead of implicit request

[Andy Shevchenko]

There is no need to handle optional module request in the driver
when user space tools has that feature for ages.

Replace custom code by MODULE_SOFTDEP() macro to let user space know
that we would like to have the DMA driver loaded first, if any.
