This needs a help text. In "[PATCH 1/3] of: Allow OF to be enabled if
COMPILE_TEST to increase coverage", I had:

+         This option enables the device tree infrastructure.
+         If is automatically selected by platforms that need it, but can
+         be enabled manually to increase compile-coverage.

Feel free to adapt...
