That dependency seems to be wrong there.
Was it added among some other "let's just unbreak some random
build" change as well?

SSB_PCIHOST enables support for SSB on top of PCI. (Which is 99% of it
uses). I don't see how this uses the legacy API.

SSB_PCICORE_HOSTMODE enables PCI on top of SSB. Which is a MIPS corner
case. This uses the legacy MIPS API to register a PCI bus.
