Correct, this looked to me like it was the intention of that
symbol. Unfortunately there is no help text but it is user
selectable:

config SOC_HAS_REALTIME_COUNTER
bool "Real time free running counter"
depends on SOC_OMAP5 || SOC_DRA7XX
default y

How about just removing the prompt on
CONFIG_SOC_HAS_REALTIME_COUNTER but keeping the
rest of my patch? That way it's just always enabled when
there is a chip that needs it enabled in the kernel config.

The only other usage of the symbol is

#ifdef CONFIG_SOC_HAS_REALTIME_COUNTER
void set_cntfreq(void);
#else
static inline void set_cntfreq(void)
{
}
#endif

Alternatively, we could just remove the Kconfig symbol
altogether and rely on (SOC_OMAP5 || SOC_DRA7XX)
everywhere, but that seems a little more fragile in case
there is going to be another chip that needs it.
