As per the report from 0-DAY kernel build test (thanks), the change
causes the following warning on a particular config.

warning: (ARCH_ROCKCHIP && ARCH_BCM_5301X) selects CLKSRC_ARM_GLOBAL_TIMER_SCHED_CLOCK which has unmet direct dependencies (ARM_GLOBAL_TIMER)

It looks the redefinition of ARM_GLOBAL_TIMER is the cause for that
warning.  I think it's more safer to use new config symbols for choosing
the clocksource device for VF610.  I propose the following change to fix
the warning.  If there is no objection, I will squash it into the
original commit soon.

I thought that Kconfig actually allowed to define a config symbol twice.
But maybe this is not a good idea with dependencies (depends on
SOC_VF610 on the choice level...?).

Thx Shawn, sorry about that.
