Subject: [PATCH V2] tty: serial: bcm63xx: use more precise Kconfig symbol

From: Rafał Miłecki <[email protected]>

Patches lowering SERIAL_BCM63XX dependencies led to a discussion and
documentation change regarding "depends" usage. Adjust Kconfig entry to
match current guidelines. Make this symbol available for relevant
architectures only.

Merely enabling COMPILE_TEST should not enable additional drivers.
