These drivers have depends that aren't build dependencies, so it's
a good idea to allow these drivers to always be built when the
COMPILE_TEST option is enabled.

That way, the drivers can be built with a config generated by make
allyesconfig and check if a patch would break the build.

What architectures have you actually tested this for ?

I've compiled it in x86 and then I tried ARM
(with CROSS_COMPILE="ccache arm-linux-gnueabihf-" ARCH=arm)

But ARM kept failing due to other drivers, first Lustre then an Ethernet
driver (I40E), and more.

arm:allmodconfig should build fine. Either case, you can always run "make -i"
to ignore errors, to ensure that you at least don't introduce new problems.

Is there a better way of doing this?

Sure, at least run allmodconfig for _all_ architectures, or at least
for the major architectures.
