Based on discussion[1] there's still interest in keeping vfio-platform
itself, but the use case doesn't involve any of the current reset
drivers and doesn't include vfio-amba.  To give any users a chance to
speak up, let's mark these as deprecated and generate logs if they're
used.

I intend to pull the vfio/fsl-mc removal from the previous series given
there were no objections.  Thanks,

Alex

The series feels like a sensible compromise. The rationale for
deprecating vfio-amba and the obsolete reset drivers is sound, as it
cleans up code that can no longer be tested by the maintainers [1].

The changes to Kconfig and the addition of dev_err_once() handle this
deprecation cleanly.
