I agree with you, it would be nice if we could just make them
all configurable and not need any machine type Kconfigs (though
a lot of platforms will continue using them for other reasons).
A patch like the one below (as I think you suggested) would be
nice too, but requires people to update their defconfig files.
In the mainline kernel, we have four defconfig files that
enable CONFIG_HAVE_ARM_ARCH_TIMER manually, so those all need
to be changed along with the Kconfig files, and everyone that
has their own out of tree defconfig file (not a full .config)
runs into the same issue.
It's probably still worth doing the change, but it's not obvious.
