2 small kernel config issues related to UML + RTC

Hello,

with the current git kernel I run
$>make ARCH=um menuconfig

and searched for the string "RTC" b/c during boot of my UML image I realized nowadays the message:

"Kernel not built with RTC support, ALARM timers will not wake from suspend"

Although the menuconfig gives me the answer :

â Symbol: STMMAC_RTC_TIMER [=n] â
â Type : boolean â
â Prompt: Real time clock â
â Defined at drivers/net/stmmac/Kconfig:50 â
â Depends on: <choice> && RTC_CLASS â
â Location: â
â -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y]) â
â -> Ethernet (1000 Mbit) (NETDEV_1000 [=n]) â
â -> STMicroelectronics 10/100/1000 Ethernet driver (STMMAC_ETH [=n]) â
â -> STMMAC Timer optimisation (STMMAC_TIMER [=n]) â
â -> Select Timer device (<choice> [=n]) â


I cannot found the menu item.

To sum it up IMO the kernel mesage doesn't makes sense for UML
and furthermore searching for "RTC" shouldn't give non-existent menu items, isn't it ?
