I don't think this does what you intended: with the COMPILE_TEST option,
you make it possible to disable the driver when ARCH_HPE is set,
but you don't allow enabling it on other platforms, which is actually the
point of compile testing.
Maybe instead use
config GXP_TIMER
bool "GXP timer driver" if COMPILE_TEST && !ARCH_HPE
default ARCH_HPE
Also change the prompt to be more specific and mention HPE,
as the 'GXP timer' is not a particularly obvious name for random
users.
You probably also need
select TIMER_OF if OF

This looks good to me now.
