I don't like this too much. Why do you want to allow disabling the
driver if you make it 'default y' in the first place?
We try to avoid 'default y' for user-selectable drivers in general.
I noticed that in my example, I was missing the default. It should
have been
config POWER_RESET_BRCMSTB
bool "Broadcom STB reset driver" if COMPILE_TEST
depends on POWER_RESET && ARM
default ARCH_BRCMSTB
This way, it always gets selected when ARCH_BRCMSTB is on and
COMPILE_TEST is off. With COMPILE_TEST enabled, it defaults to
ARCH_BRCMSTB but can be enabled or disabled for the purpose
of compile testing.
