There is no need to tie this driver to only a specific SoC, or compile
test, so remove that dependancy from the Kconfig rules.

samsung_tty driver is hardware specific driver so why should we
build it for any platform?

This change seems to defeat the whole purpose behind COMPILE_TEST
config option (which allows us to build hardware-specific drivers
without needlessly presenting the user with tons of non-relevant
config options).

Please explain this change some more, are you planing to remove
COMPILE_TEST config option?

I was just going to send a revert...
