AMD Hudson A55E: Remove GEC firmware blob kconfig prompt

The "gigabit ethernet controller" (GEC) block was added to AMD
Hudson A55E to integrate ethernet capabilities into an AMD
southbridge.

The GEC is designed to work with B50610 and B50610M gigabit PHY
chips from Broadcom.  These parts may not be generally available
in small quantities for embedded development.

The GEC block requires an opaque firmware blob to function.  The
GEC blob is controlled by AMD and Broadcom and is not available
from coreboot.org.

This change removes GEC support from AMD Parmer and AMD Thatcher
mainboards since these boards do not have the Broadcom PHY.

AMD has requested that the GEC be hidden for Hudson FCH since
the PHY parts are not generally available.  This Kconfig option
can make it appear that this is a viable and supported way to
add Ethernet to an embedded board.  It is possible to use the
Hudson GEC block with other PHYs, but this requires development
of a custom GEC blob and a custom Ethernet driver.  A custom GEC
blob has been developed for a Micrel PHY, but there is no
accompanying driver.
