The option CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST, added in commit 4bb1667255a ("build some drivers only when compile-testing") is meant to give a middle ground[1] between those who want the widest compile coverage possible (e.g. building sparc drivers for mips) and those who want dependencies to represent real world systems (e.g. don't allow me to see OMAP options when building x86).
As such, this addition is meant to be used in dependency lines, properly or'd in with the real world hardware dependency. Those who select it, get wide compile coverage. Those who do not, get real world dependencies that match where the hardware is available and/or where the driver is useful.
With that in mind, it is clear that this is _not_ to be used in any C code with "#ifdef CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST" etc. However there will (and already has been) instances of people thinking this is an OK practice[2]. So teach checkpatch to spot them as an error.
