Is it really a problem that you see this option when you configure an
imx51 kernel?  The prompt clearly tells you do not need this option for
an imx51 kernel.  Or will it cause any real problem even if you select
it for an imx51 kernel, except you build in a driver which will never be
instantiated?  I've seen drivers even start drop ARCH_* dependency to
get a better randconfig build test coverage.
