This wording is a bit rough to parse.

All you really want to do is take away the fact that ARCH_SPRD is
required here to turn this off, right?

No need for "if COMPILE_TEST" on this line.

Just drop the ARCH_SPRD portion here and maybe make it depend on ARM64
instead like:
depends on (ARM64 || COMPILE_TEST)

and drop the EXPERT check above?

What is the goal of what you want to do here? Just allow this to be
enabled on what type of systems?
