This seems reasonable, but by replacing ARCH_BCM2835 which is common to
ARM/Linux and ARM64/Linux, you are no longer allowing an ARM64 systems
to benefit from this driver unless COMPILE_TEST is also selected, right?

This could be:

depends on COMPILE_TEST
depends on ARCH_BCM # 32-bit ARM
depends on ARCH_BCM2835 || ARCH_BCM_IPROC # 64-bit ARM

or maybe down to just:

depends on COMPILE_TEST

and let DRM, COMMON_CLK and SND drive the bulk of the dependencies?
