Subject: [PATCH] misc: amd-sbi: Clarify that this is a BMC driver

Add a sentence to the driver description to clarify that the sbrmi-i2c
driver is intended to run on the BMC and not on the managed node. Add
platform dependencies accordingly.

 	  Side band RMI over I2C support for AMD out of band management.
+	  This driver is intended to run on the BMC, not the managed node.
 
 	  This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module will
 	  be called sbrmi-i2c.
