Good point, I'll take care of it. But don't you mean COMPILE_TEST be 
added on the actual MC_BUS config, like so:

  config FSL_MC_BUS
  	bool "QorIQ DPAA2 fsl-mc bus driver"
-	depends on OF && ARCH_LAYERSCAPE
+	depends on OF && (ARCH_LAYERSCAPE || COMPILE_TEST)
  	select GENERIC_MSI_IRQ_DOMAIN
?

The other drivers that depend on the MC_BUS won't compile on other 
architectures.
