Oh, yes, thanks for pointing this out, I totally blew it here. I
dropped this while we figure it out.
Do you have a preference between this:
depends on ARCH_MVEBU || ARCH_DOVE || COMPILE_TEST
depends on OF || COMPILE_TEST
and this:
depends on ((ARCH_MVEBU || ARCH_DOVE) && OF) || COMPILE_TEST
The latter seems more common and doesn't repeat "COMPILE_TEST", but I
can see advantages to the former.
