Thanks, looks good.

It must definitely not be selected by CONFIG_M68000, as the plain MC68000
is a CPU, not an SoC, and does not have the timer.

While CONFIG_M68000 could be used for a "pure" MC68000-based machine,
I believe we don't support any yet.
M68{,EZ,VZ}328 select M68000 as they are SoCs containing a 68000
CPU core.
Other m68k SoCs have a CPU32 core, which is a simplified 68020 CPU core
(hmm, what happened to 68360 support? Oh, removed in 2016, so nothing
selects CPU32 anymore).
Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
