Yes, but think of distro config people rather like users ... if you can
prevent them from doing something stupid, it's a good idea.  In this
case, there's currently no way anyone should ever select RTC_CLASS on
parisc, so we should make that clear in the Kconfig file.


OK, I can look at that, but in the mean time could we make the option
that causes the damage unselectable?  This is technically a regression
because before your patch GEN_RTC would override RTC_CLASS, now it's the
other way around.
