No, that's not how it works. In fact ARM_QCOM_SPM_CPUIDLE has the
exact same problem. I tried to check if there are other drivers affected
by this problem before I sent my patch, but I did something wrong and
missed this one.

They do test randconfig builds, but only a few of them. This one is
rather hard to hit, it probably took me 100 builds before I hit the first
one and I haven't run into the QCOM one yet, though I did see a
different issue for ARM_QCOM_SPM_CPUIDLE:

WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for QCOM_SPM
  Depends on [n]: ARCH_QCOM [=n]
  Selected by [y]:
  - ARM_QCOM_SPM_CPUIDLE [=y] && CPU_IDLE [=y] && (ARM [=y] || ARM64)
&& (ARCH_QCOM [=n] || COMPILE_TEST [=y]) && !ARM64 && MMU [=y]
