The CLCD driver is used on ARM reference models for ARMv8 so add ARM64
to the list of dependencies. The driver also has no build time dependencies
on ARM (stubs are provided for ARM-specific DMA functions in the code) so
make it available with COMPILE_TEST in order to maximise build coverage.

I haven't followed other CLCD patches but for arm64 it requires
support for DT. I have been carrying some patches (done by Linaro) for
a long time and Pawel @ ARM has another set of patches. Do you know
what the status for those is before enabling CLCD on arm64? That's
unless you are only looking at compile-testing.

Pawel's patches are going nowhere slowly as far as I can tell due to a
slow feedback loop and extensive discussion of the DT bindings.  

I think this patch is an orthogonal thing, though - as you say it's
useful for compile testing on its own and it means the driver will load
as soon as the DT bindings are supported.  It's one less patch to carry
out of tree and one less iteration when debugging why the framebuffer
isn't supported when testing.
