Subject: [PATCH] misc/mei: INTEL_MEI should depend on X86 or DRM_XE

The Intel Management Engine Interface is only present on x86 platforms
and Intel Xe graphics cards.  Hence add a dependency on X86 or DRM_XE,
to prevent asking the user about this driver when configuring a kernel
for a non-x86 architecture and without Xe graphics support.

Fixes: 25f9b0d351552f63 ("misc/mei: Allow building Intel ME interface on non-x86")
