After further research, I've concluded that we should also drop the
settings for ARCH_S5PV210 and ARCH_S3C24XX here.

ARCH_S5PV210 behaves exactly like EXYNOS here, it has 32-bit timers
so there won't be any overflow with 100Hz.

For ARCH_S3C24XX, it the requirement was that HZ_100 could not
be used with the old arch/arm/plat-samsung/time.c code that would
overflow its 16-bit counter.
However, the new drivers/clocksource/samsung_pwm_timer.c configures
the clock divider to '50' instead of '6', so there is no longer
a 16-bit overflow before the 100Hz tick, it now overflows every
3.7ms for the typical 12MHz clock.
