Subject: 2 small kernel config issues related to UML + RTC

Hello,

with the current git kernel I run 
$>make ARCH=um menuconfig

and searched for the string "RTC" b/c during boot of my UML image I realized nowadays the message:

"Kernel not built with RTC support, ALARM timers will not wake from suspend"

Although the menuconfig gives me the answer :

  │ Symbol: STMMAC_RTC_TIMER [=n]                                                                                   │   
  │ Type  : boolean                                                                                                 │   
  │ Prompt: Real time clock                                                                                         │

  │   Depends on: <choice> && RTC_CLASS                                                                             │   
  │   Location:                                                                                                     │   
  │     -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y])                                                                 │   
  │       -> Ethernet (1000 Mbit) (NETDEV_1000 [=n])                                                                │   
  │         -> STMicroelectronics 10/100/1000 Ethernet driver (STMMAC_ETH [=n])                                     │   
  │           -> STMMAC Timer optimisation (STMMAC_TIMER [=n])                                                      │   
  │             -> Select Timer device (<choice> [=n])                                                              │   


I cannot found the menu item.

To sum it up IMO the kernel mesage doesn't makes sense for UML
and furthermore searching for "RTC" shouldn't give non-existent menu items, isn't it ?
