Actually I had something like below before and changed it before posting.

config ARM_SCPI_POWER_DOMAIN
	tristate "SCPI power domain driver"
	depends on ARM_SCPI_PROTOCOL || COMPILE_TEST
	select PM_GENERIC_DOMAINS if PM
	select PM_GENERIC_DOMAINS_OF if PM

The idea was to allow compilation of this even if PM was disabled.

I agree, that's exactly what I had before.

Makes sense, I am fine with that too.
