MCPM is a user-selectable option, which doesn't mix well with 'select'.

If you want to use 'select' here, better also change

	bool "Multi-Cluster Power Management"

to just

	bool

in the ARM global Kconfig. The normal way to deal with these dependencies
though is to have platforms 'select' the features they allow and have
device drivers 'depends on' the same symbol.
