Yes you are correct. But the problem i was facing is that .config is an auto gen file and should not be changed manually. Even if you change it and build the kernel, the value again gets set to 'y' irrespective of your change. So i was looking for an option from the menuconfig.
I found out the way.
Under /arch/i386 (checked with 'uname -a' and confirmed my architecture)there is the Kconfig file which sets a default value for all these configuration flags. Changing it to 'n' there for GENERIC_CMOS_UPDATE disables the flag and reflects the change in .config.
It works now and can be closed :)
