If ARCH_STARFIVE is enabled, both options (RESET_CONTROLLER &
RESET_STARFIVE_JH7110) will be selected & you don't need to worry about
people not realising this. Try it out & look at the option in
menuconfig.

This is what we want, right? The more often it gets built by randconfig
etc the better, especially for archs that are not RISC-V.
