Sorry for the confusion, I should have given you some context. Mika
has checked that designware i2c is used by some ARC platforms but he
didn't say which ones. The orig patch makes COMMON_CLK a requirement for
designware i2c.
I checked that we're fine for TB10x (we need COMMON_CLK anyway) but
since you weren't in copy I just wanted to make sure that none of the
other ARC platforms (which don't seem to select COMMON_CLK) use
designware i2c and thus run into trouble.
If there is no designware i2c in any of your platforms, simply ignore
my message. From my point of view there is no need to move "select
COMMON_CLK" up to the ARC architecture level.
