To be able to compile test drivers that select some of these Kconfigs,
even when building for other architectures.
The binary size shouldn't increase if they don't enable these Kconfigs.

That is another alternative.
So either make sure that all these Kconfigs
have "depends on ARCH_QCOM || COMPILE_TEST",
or
remove ARCH_QCOM from these Kconfigs.
A third, and perhaps best alternative is to do like
drivers/soc/mediatek/Kconfig
menu "MediaTek SoC drivers"
depends on ARCH_MEDIATEK || COMPILE_TEST
Make sure that our root menu entry depends on ARCH_QCOM || COMPILE_TEST,
that way we could remove ARCH_QCOM for all Kconfigs.
Thoughts?
