Because by enabling the COMPILE_TEST, you give the opportunity to
someone without the hardware to cross-compile test your driver and catch
errors very soon before the changes hit your tree.

There are several Continuous Integration loop around running the latest
changes in the kernel (kernelci, 01.org, etc ...) and all drivers with
this flag are compiled tested.

If the option is not set, the timer is silently selected by your
platform's Kconfig only, without giving the opportunity to an non-expert
user to unselect the timer leading to, maybe, an unbootable board.
