For CPU_MMP2 specifically, it switches to use generic sram driver. But 
generally it may not use sram only, a DDR buffer(or other buffer) may 
also be a pool. So here we don't add "select SRAM" directly. In this 
case we need to enable CONFIG_SRAM in mmp2_defconfig.

If no sram or other similar drivers are enabled, it will throw an error 
for warning.
