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.
