config NET_VENDOR_SUNPLUS bool "Sunplus devices" default y depends on ARCH_SUNPLUSDoes it actually depend on ARCH_SUNPLUS? What do you make use of?ARCH_SUNPLUS will be defined for Sunplus family series SoC. Ethernet devices of Sunplus are designed and used for Sunplus SoC. So far, only two SoC of Sunplus have the network device. I'd like to show up the selection only for Sunplus SoC.
So it does not actually depend on ARCH_SUNPLUS. There are a few cases where drivers have needed to call into arch specific code, which stops them building for any other arch.

Ideally, you want it to also build with COMPILE_TEST, so that the driver gets build by 0-day and all the other build bots.I am not sure if this is mandatory or not. Should I add COMPILE_TEST as below? depends on ARCH_SUNPLUS | COMPILE_TEST
Yes.
Yes, the device is now only for Sunplus SP7021 SoC. Devices in each SoC may have a bit difference because of adding new function or improving something.
If it will compile with COMPILE_TEST on x86, mips, etc, you should
allow it to compile with COMPILE_TEST. You get better compile testing
that way.
