ACPI_IPMI driver currently depends on IPMI System Interface (IPMI_SI) driver
to be enabled. IPMI_SI driver only handles KCS, SMIC and BT BMC interfaces.

IPMI_SSIF is an alternative BMC communication method. It allows BMC to be
accessed over an I2C bus instead of a standard interface.

Enabling ACPI_IPMI over IPMI_SSIF with this change.

Oops, yes, this is an issue.

However, it should probably depend on IPMI_HANDLER, not the individual 
interface types.
