The idea is that if compile test is disabled, you are not presented
with the option, but it is set to the correct value via the default
mechanism. That way it is normally not possible to disable necessary
reset controller drivers for enabled architectures, but the driver can
still be built even on other architectures.

It's a workaround for selecting the driver from the arch, which
currently can't be done because of the encasing menuconfig.
