Well spotted, thanks for the report.

I have a patch that will turn mach-gemini into multiplatform, and
at that point it will also fail there. The correct solution I think
is to move the GEMINI_RTC_SECOND etc definitions into rtc-gemini.c
itself and remove the #include.

It still makes sense to have a dependency, but I'd express it
as

depends on ARCH_GEMINI || COMPILE_TEST

in order to let the driver get compiled for an allyesconfig kernel
on all architectures, but not appear as an option for normal builds
that do not set COMPILE_TEST.
