Yes, only when SSI works in Split/Ex-Split mode, BUSIFx other than 0 is 
necessary

Because, in order to automatically determine BUSIF number,
information like SSI mode (non-Split/Split/Ex-Split), runtime channel, 
are required
(in our internal implementation, SSI mode is selected by kctrl)
because of this, in this patch, BUSIF is selected on runtime

with the above reasoning, BUSIF is selected on runtime.
what do you think?
