This is the standard kconfig module dependency to avoid having built-in
when other is module:
EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL || !EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL
It is used everywhere and already documented.

Now, the only difference here is that !EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL is actually
not meaningful for the driver, because it is not an optional dependency,
thus we allow this only for compile testing, therefore:
|| COMPILE_TEST && !EXYNOS_ACPM_PROTOCOL.
