How about an actual dependency like:

	depends on ARCH_MESON || COMPILE_TEST
	default ARCH_MESON
?

That way the option won't be presented to users where it's completely 
irrelevant, e.g. running "make oldconfig" with an x86 distro config. It 
always bugs me when I rebase a branch and have to manually confirm that 
indeed I don't want to build random drivers specific to x86/RISC-V/etc. 
SoCs for my arm64 config... ;)
