I couldn't find a way to make this work with "depends on" because
OF_RESERVED_MEM is not user-visible and the only way to get it enabled
is if something also selects OF_EARLY_FLATTREE, which is only ever done
at the architecture Kconfig level (and for OF unit testing).

So switching this to a "depends on" causes the TEGRA210_EMC never to get
enabled.

However, with OF disabled, the above causes issues because it can lead
to unmet direct dependencies. That, in turn, can be fixed by appending
&& OF to the COMPILE_TEST branch, which seems like a good enough
compromise.

Here's what I have on top of the above patch and that seems to do the
trick.

So in a nutshell this will only get compile-tested if OF is enabled, but
then it will select OF_RESERVED_MEM and OF_EARLY_FLATTREE to get the
required symbols.
