For similar reasons as x86, can we please think about using:
	depends on ARM
	depends on ARCH_SHMOBILE || ARCH_SHMOBILE_MULTI || COMPILE_TEST

I'm fine with your proposed option. As I don't want to respin the series
dozens of time let's first agree on the course of action, I will then
repost the patches. Mark, you've pushed towards as few platform
dependencies as possible, what's your opinion on this ?

In general I think we should have whatever the real depedencies are or
COMPILE_TEST (to the extent that they will actually build cleanly on
other targets).  That way only people who explicitly go looking to
compile test things for build coverage (eg, when doing global cleanups
or API updates) need to be bothered by the extra compile test options.

I'd read the above as saying the code needs ARM to build at all and that
the hardware will only ever appear on SHMOBILE.

That's my reading as well, and it makes sense to express it that way to me. 
I'll resubmit the whole series (minus the patches that have been applied 
already, I'll fix those in follow-up patches) with the dependencies expressed 
that way.
