(nitpicking)

You shouldn't have both a user-selectable option and 'select' it from
the platform, because it makes it inherently not selectable, in particular
in the combination with 'depends on ARCH_BRCMSTB'.

One way to solve this would be to change the dependency to

config POWER_RESET_BRCMSTB
	bool "Broadcom STB reset driver"
	depends on POWER_RESET && ARM
	depends on ARCH_BRCMSTB || COMPILE_TEST

which in effect would allow building it on any ARM machine as long as
COMPILE_TEST is set (which normally is not).

The same could be expressed using

config POWER_RESET_BRCMSTB
	bool "Broadcom STB reset driver" if COMPILE_TEST
	depends on POWER_RESET && ARM

My preference in this case however would be to just drop the 'select'
statement and add the driver to the defconfig file.
