Yep. It checks the version of SoC MIPS core, to distinguish chip
families. If SOC_AR5312 or SOC_AR2315 not selected then respective
chip specific functions are replaced by stubs.

If you want show to user some message, when kernel was built with
wrong options, then may be:

#if !defined(CONFIG_SOC_AR5312) && !defined(CONFIG_SOC_AR2315)
#error "You should select at least one SoC support option"
#endif

if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SOC_AR5312) && is_ar5312())
        panic("AR5312 SoC support is not builtin");
if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SOC_AR2315) && is_ar2315())
        panic("AR5312 SoC support is not builtin");

IMHO these checks in general is odd.
