 Why does this change add this question:

ARM Versatile (Express) reference platforms clock source (CLKSRC_VERSATILE) [N/y/?] (NEW) ?

This option enables clock source based on free running
counter available in the "System Registers" block of
ARM Versatile, RealView and Versatile Express reference
platforms.

Symbol: CLKSRC_VERSATILE [=n]
Type  : boolean
Prompt: ARM Versatile (Express) reference platforms clock source
  Location:
    -> Device Drivers
      -> Clock Source drivers
  Defined at drivers/clocksource/Kconfig:216
  Depends on: GENERIC_SCHED_CLOCK [=y] && !ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET [=n]
  Selects: CLKSRC_OF [=n]

to a MIPS configuration?  I find it silly, this appears a platform 
device to me (use reverse dependencies?).
