Ah right, it works for randconfig builds now but won't boot :)

To me it seems not having SOC_HAS_REALTIME_COUNTER will
cause omap5_realtime_timer_init() not get called?

That initializes clocks and calls timer_probe(). So this
will result in non-booting system AFAIK, the header
file stub should no rely CONFIG_SOC_HAS_REALTIME_COUNTER
also, but rather ! CONFIG_SOC_OMAP5 || CONFIG_SOC_DRA7XX.

Also the Makefile change at least seems wrong, that
can't rely on CONFIG_SOC_HAS_REALTIME_COUNTER.
