imply is week select, which means that this driver can be built without 
SLIMBus selected. So removing reference to slimbus_bus is necessary in 
this case.

On the other hand, SLIMBus is going to be used sm8250 for BT audio, so 
this would not be unnecessary. Also mostly these are build as modules, 
so not sure why kernel size will increase here!

Am not 100% sure if SLIMBus will be kept on all SoCs, but keeping 
depends or imply in place would enforce or spell out some level of 
dependency on this.

Other suggestion I had in my mind was to use compatible strings to get 
reg_read, reg_write callbacks + some flags like (if_type) populated. 
This can help looking up resources correctly.
