The kernel config is overwhelmed with amount of choices of drivers, so
it is quite common to restrict the choices of subarch-specific drivers
to these sub-architectures. That's how many, if not most, of ARM v7 and
ARMv8 drivers are restricted. Some other RISC-V drivers follow this
concept (git grep SOC_CANAAN, git grep SOC_SIFIVE) because it is
friendly for people configuring kernels. Why making configuration choice
more difficult and show the SoC-specific clock driver to every other
platform (when this SoC is not used)?
