[PATCH] ARM: Kconfig: select GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_BROADCAST also on UP

[Lucas Stach]

Hi Russell,

can you please take a look at this and tell if there is something wrong
about it, or if you think it can go in?

Without this patch the kernel is unable to use the deeper CPU idle
states on i.MX6S if it isn't built with SMP support enabled.

Regards,
Lucas
