Yes, you are right.
Do you agree if I define it like this:

config ARMV7M_SYSTICK
    bool "Clocksource driver for ARMv7-M System timer"
    depends on OF && (CPU_V7M || COMPILE_TEST)
    select CLKSRC_OF
    select CLKSRC_MMIO
    help
      This options enables clocksource support for the ARMv7-M system
      timer unit.

Thanks,
Maxime
