I assume this symbol is enabled later in the series.

Yes, I noticed it was selected in 14/18 ("ARM: Add STM32 family
machine").

Would it make sense
to allow enabing the symbol for compile test coverage?

What happens if ARMV7M_SYSTICK=y but OF=n? Doesn't the driver fail to
compile?

the right spelling is ARMv7-M.

This Kconfig entry has no prompt, so no one is going to see this text
during make *config. Perhaps this should be made a comment. In that case
the right spelling should still be used.

Thanks,
