I think the "|| COMPILE_TEST" might just be a copy 'n paste'ism (in fact I
may even have been guilty off propagating it in reviews when checking
for inconsistencies).

AFAICT nothing will inhibit setting GPIOLIB so allyes- and allmodconfig
builds will always end up with GPIOLIB enabled. If we are happy to
select it then I think that is enough!
