My previous comment was misleading.
The depends on line allows CONFIG_EXYNOS_ACPM_CLK to be selected in two
main scenarios:
1/ if EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL is enabled the clock driver that uses it can
   be enabled (the normal case).
2/ COMPILE_TEST is enabled AND EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL is NOT enabled. This
   is the special scenario for build testing. I want to build test the
   clock driver even if EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL is NOT enabled. For that I
   also needed the following patch:
