It might be that the Kconfig file needs an update, but the behavior 
changed with this commit.

Before this commit the entry was visible and symbols hidden under the 
SOC_RENESAS where selectable and I could for example select/deselect 
ARCH_R8A77965 in menuconfig. After this change I can't navigate to 
ARCH_R8A77965 at all.

But you are correct that both before and after the commit the 
SOC_RENESAS symbol is set to only be visible if 'COMPILE_TEST && 
!ARCH_RENESAS' so this might have been an issue that was fixed and that 
the Kconfig file needs to be updated.

Thanks for your help!
