The MFD_SYSCON depends on HAS_IOMEM so when selecting it avoid unmet
direct dependencies.

This is technically correct, but the entire RTC menu is hidden
inside of 'depends on !UML && !S390', so we won't ever get there
on any configuration that does not use HAS_IOMEM.

If we did, all other RTC drivers would also fail.

So UML has no RTC. Should/can it use RTC_DRV_GENERIC?

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

I think nothing should use that, even if it could ;-)

Funny enough, RTC_DRV_GENERIC would probably actually work if you
run UML as root and set iopl() to allow port access, but we don't
really want it to mess with the host RTC.

I don't know where UML gets it real time, but it doesn't actually
need much other than calling clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, ...)
to get the host time. Presumably it uses some variation of that.
