What is the preference for multiplatform-enabled arch/Kconfig's?

Should we be specifying options that are already enabled by multiplatform or can we assume they will always be enabled?

It 'feels' safer to explicitly enable them to catch problems later when things are changed and people forget :)

Examples: MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER, SPARSE_IRQ, USE_OF, COMMON_CLK...

They won't just go away from CONFIG_MULTIPLATFORM, no need to enable them yourself. We also have a lot of options that are unconditionally enabled for all ARM platforms.
