As I said above: to be able to build SAM9X60 without depending on
SOC_AT91SAM9 and to limit the legacy (in term of drivers) coming with
SOC_AT91SAM9.

Would you prefer the other way around like I had in the 1st version:

+config SOC_SAM9X60
+	bool "SAM9X60"
+	depends on SOC_AT91SAM9
+	select ATMEL_AIC5_IRQ
+	select HAVE_AT91_GENERATED_CLK
+	select HAVE_AT91_SAM9X60_PLL
+	help
+	  Select this if you are using Microchip's SAM9X60 SoC
