The stubs might be good idea anyway, but the driver explicitly needs for
runtime working reservedmem, so it should select it.
The OF and reservedmem are both selected by the ARCH for the runtime
use. They may not be selected in the case of compile-testing.

Both OF core and reservedmem provide stubs needed for compile-testing,
it's only the RESERVEDMEM_OF_DECLARE() that is missing the stub. Adding
the missing stub should be a more appropriate solution than adding extra
Kconfig dependencies, IMO.
Ah, in such case everything looks good. Stubs is indeed proper choice.
Although, I see that there are only two Kconfigs that have
OF_RESERVED_MEM, one defines the OF_RESERVED_MEM, the other is QCOM
Kconfig which depends on OF_RESERVED_MEM. The OF_RESERVED_MEM is enabled
by default in defconfig.

You're right, we need the Kconfig change to be entirely correct, since
driver won't work properly without OF_RESERVED_MEM.

config TEGRA210_EMC
	tristate "NVIDIA Tegra210 External Memory Controller driver"
-	depends on ARCH_TEGRA_210_SOC || COMPILE_TEST
+	depends on (ARCH_TEGRA_210_SOC && OF_RESERVED_MEM) || COMPILE_TEST

I will send that change later today.
That's completely unnecessary. OF_RESERVED_MEM is enabled by default if
OF_EARLY_FLATTREE is enabled, which it is for ARM64 and that is always
enabled for ARCH_TEGRA_210_SOC.

What Krzysztof had originally proposed, as far as I understand, is to
add "depends on OF_RESERVED_MEM" so that the dependency is always there
(including the COMPILE_TEST case). However, that's a bit problematic, as
I said earlier, because OF_RESERVED_MEM is not user-visible and neither
is OF_EARLY_FLATTREE, so there's no way to enable OF_RESERVED_MEM unless
the architecture selected it, which it doesn't on x86, so it kind of
defeats the purpose of COMPILE_TEST.

So I think if this really has to be compile-test enabled, the only way
to do that is to either make this select OF_EARLY_FLATTREE, or add the
stubs.

Another option would perhaps be to enable OF_UNITTEST along with
COMPILE_TEST, since that also pulls in OF_EARLY_FLATTREE and would allow
this driver to be built even on x86.
