Actually it is also automatically selected by [PATCH v7 6/9]:
diff --git a/drivers/clocksource/Kconfig b/drivers/clocksource/Kconfig

There are two user:
(1) arm_arch_timer(which will select CLKSRC_ACPI if ACPI, then
CLKSRC_ACPI will select ACPI_GTDT if ARM64)
So arm_arch_timer will automatically selecte ACPI_GTDT if ARM64 && ACPI
(2) sbsa_gwdt (which will select ACPI_GTDT if ACPI in [PATCH v7 9/9])
So sbsa_gwdt will automatically selecte ACPI_GTDT if ARM64 && ACPI &&
ARM_ARCH_TIMER
So ACPI_GTDT is automatically selected by both of two users.
But like Timur said before:
maybe we just "selecte ACPI_GTDT if ACPI" for ARM64, because ARM64
require GTDT if we use ACPI.
