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?
