ARM_SMMU_QCOM is enabled by default, so please don't do that. People who
want to disable errata workarounds based on a hunch can do that themselves.
There's no need to try to do that automatically in Kconfig.

In this case, the Kconfig option covers a variety of errata so how about
we go with:

	ARM_SMMU_MMU_500_CPRE_ERRATA

and then you can list all of the numbers in the "Erratum ID" column?
