The COMPILE_TEST existing on the config will introduce some build error
on other ARCH's allyesconfig build on i.MX2/3 platforms, I received some build error report.
So in next patch series, I will drop the COMPILE_TEST for these new added clock configurations,
as I think it is NOT worth to support the COMPILE_TEST for these old legacy platforms which are
NOT supported before.

Thanks,
Anson
