The problem is that you are impacting on other people's testing.  Even if
this stuff builds for me, it may well break for people using other
arches/configs.  These changes (adding dependencies on
CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST for devices that are currently only built for
particular platforms) are adding very little, but impacting on my time (at
least).
