[PATCH] soc: qcom: geni-se: allow selection on 32-bit ARM Qualcomm SoCs

[Hardeep Sharma]

Commit e10b198a94c6 ("soc: qcom: Restrict drivers per ARM/ARM64")
tightened QCOM_GENI_SE's dependency to ARM64 || COMPILE_TEST on the
assumption that no ARMv7 Qualcomm SoC uses the GENI Serial Engine
hardware.

Kuno, a 32-bit ARM Cortex-A7 Qualcomm SoC, uses the GENI-based QUP
wrapper for its debug UART, so this assumption no longer holds.
