There are couple older platforms that can't be compile-tested because they
partially implement CLK API. It causes build failure of kernel drivers due

These platforms are: ARM EP93XX, ARM OMAP1, m68k ColdFire, MIPS AR7,
MIPS Ralink.
Disable compile-testing for HAVE_LEGACY_CLK=y.

That sounds a bit drastic to me. Usually we just try to implement the missing functionality, or provide stubs. Which functions are missing?

Some drivers can be compiled on a different platform than they are
intended to be run on. Despite they cannot be loaded there (or even
