Am planning to send a patch to clean this up, so that any new platform
addition to the multi_v7_defconfig will not under go this discussion again..

Why should it even contain HAVE_ARM_ARCH_TIMER/ARM_ARCH_TIMER?
The only reason I see for de-selection is because none of the platforms
in the multi_v7 defconfig selects it.

Looks like there is no platform in mulit_v7 config which requires this
support. If there is one I think it should select it.

Am I correct?

Thanks,
