So, disable this driver for RISC-V even when ACPI is enabled for now.

CONFIG_SURFACE_PLATFORMS should be enabled for ARM64 || X86 || COMPILE_TEST only,
so I guess the issue only happens when compiling with the latter enabled?

I'm not aware of any current plans of MS to release RISC-V-based Surface
devices, so you could maybe also just explicitly disable CONFIG_SURFACE_PLATFORMS.
In any case, I don't see any issues with disabling the whole platform/surface
or only individual drivers for RISC-V, so for either solution:

Hi Maximilian,

Thanks!. Yes, COMPILE_TEST gets enabled for allmodconfig builds. Since
the whole intention of COMPILE_TEST appears to be able to compile-test
drivers on a platform than they are supposed to be used, I think it is
better not to skip whole set of drivers but only that which can not build.
So, I prefer to keep this change as is.

Hi Sunil,

What I wanted to say with my previous mail: I'm fairly confident that
platform/surface drivers will not be actively used on RISC-V hardware any
time soon (not sure if that came over in this way). But whatever you/others
prefer, I'm happy with either.

Best regards,
Max
