I think we should be using the CONFIG_BUILD_TEST (or whatever
it's called) here to allow building the drivers everywhere but
at the same time be specific with the platform. How about this:

config EM_TIMER_STI
	bool "Renesas EMMA EV2 STI timer driver" if BUILD_TEST && !ARCH_EMEV2
	default ARCH_EMEV2
	help
	  ...

This makes it a silent option that is set correctly all the time
but lets you enable it everywhere when BUILD_TEST is set.

We could skip the "&& !ARCH_EMEV2" part to allow building an
EMEV2 kernel without this driver when build testing if that
is possible.
