> The versatile express changes for 3.16 introduced a number of
> build regressions for randconfig kernels by not tracking dependencies
> between the components right.
> 
> This patch tries to rectify that:
> 
> * the mach-vexpress code cannot link without the syscfg driver,
>   which in turn needs MFD_VEXPRESS_SYSREG
> * various drivers call devm_regmap_init_vexpress_config(), which
>   has to be exported so it can be used by loadable modules
> * the configuration bus uses OF DT helper functions that are not
>   available to platforms disable CONFIG_OF
> * The sysreg driver exports GPIOs through gpiolib, which can
>   be disabled on some platforms.
> * The clocksource code cannot be built on platforms that don't
>   use modern timekeeping but rely on gettimeoffset.
