Hi Rick,

the general rule for the Kconfig is:

bool "Clocksource for AE3XX platform" if COMPILE_TEST

and no deps on the platform.

It is up to the platform Kconfig to select the option.

We want here a silent option but make it selectable in case of
compilation test coverage.

Also, this driver is not a CLKSRC but a TIMER. Rename CLKSRC_ATCPIT100
to TIMER_ATCPIT100.

You may consider CLOCK_EVT_DYN_IRQ

What do you mean ? We can't specify several clock names with timer-of?
