Here we just need a bit updated hunk due to missing [1] which was only introduced in v4.15:

+       depends on GENERIC_SCHED_CLOCK

          These are legacy 32-bit TIMER0 and TIMER1 counters found on all ARC cores

Everything below v4.10 we'll need to drop as ARC timers were only imported in v4.10, see [2].
