Nearly all the other goldfish peripherals (mtd, keyboard, etc) have a dependency on the main platform's GOLDFISH Kconfig item, but this one got skipped. Even with consistency as a justification, there was initial resistance[1] from some people to adding it however, as they wanted the extra compile coverage.
Now, with CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST, we have the middle ground that will give people the coverage who want it, and let those who don't want it to skip ever seeing the option presented.
