Yes, thanks.  Not all of the comments are needed.  If you look closer 
COMMON_CLK_IPROC should be a non-visible option.  It is just an internal 
config option used in the Makefile only.  There's no benefit to exposing 
an option here and adding another layer to the Kconfig hierarchy.

See my proposed (revised) changes below which remove the code bloat and 
allow build coverage to be increased.  Even if you expose it there are 
additional changes you need to make to your patchset dealing with 
COMPILE_TEST

Remove all the changes above from patchset - not needed.
