How can this select I2C unconditionally? At this point we don't
even know if this platform has/supports I2C.

Ditto for IPMI_SSIF in the current Kconfig file, while
IPMB_DEVICE_INTERFACE depends on I2C (as it should IMO).

Please follow coding-style for Kconfig files:

(from Documentation/process/coding-style.rst, section 10):

For all of the Kconfig* configuration files throughout the source tree,
the indentation is somewhat different.  Lines under a ``config`` definition
are indented with one tab, while help text is indented an additional two
spaces.

Odd spacing/formatting above.

Ditto.
