I was wrong. Looks like the ARM64 arch Kconfig always select OF so it's not
really necessary to have OF here.

Since the OF dependency is not really necessary here, to fulfill the compile test
purpose, the possible dependency might be (ARCH_S32 || COMPILE_TEST), but it
could meet a compiling failure on the reference of pinconf_generic_parse_dt_config()
for those architectures which do not select OF by default since there's no stub
for this function. [pinconf_generic_parse_dt_config() is called in pinctrl-s32cc.c]

Based on the previous assumption [OF is not needed and PINCTRL_S32CC doesn't
depend on COMPILE_TEST], selecting PINCTRL_S32G2 wouldn't work if it simply
depends on (ARCH_S32 || COMPILE_TEST), for example:
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for PINCTRL_S32CC
Depends on [n]: PINCTRL [=y] && ARCH_S32
Selected by [y]:
- PINCTRL_S32G2 [=y] && PINCTRL [=y] && (ARCH_S32 || COMPILE_TEST [=y])
So the better solutions is to still have OF in PINCTRL_S32CC, such as:
config PINCTRL_S32CC
bool
depends on ARCH_S32 || (OF && COMPILE_TEST)
.....
config PINCTRL_S32G2
depends on ARCH_S32 || COMPILE_TEST
.....

Will change it, thanks for your suggestions.
