Having, just, depends on RPMSG_QCOM_GLINK_SMEM || COMPILE_TEST,
is going to break when RPMSG_QCOM_GLINK_SMEM=m and COMPILE_TEST=y.
Hence the COMPILE_TEST && RPMSG_QCOM_GLINK_SMEM=n.
Having said that, COMPILE_TEST is getting tested for RPMSG_QCOM_SMD=n in
the previous line. So that's the reason for not having it in below line for
RPMSG_QCOM_GLINK_SMEM.

This is where, i was thinking, it should be functional if either of SMD or GLINK
is there, but should not require both.
