The kernel doc states this as one of the possible cases where setting default
y/m makes sense:
```
Sub-driver behavior or similar options for a driver that is “default n”. This
allows you to provide sane defaults.
```
In the case of DWMAC_RZN1, it is a suboption of stmmac which is "default n", and
I think it makes sense to enable the RZN1 ethernet controller driver if both the
stmmac driver and the RZN1 architecture were explicitely selected.
