I would rather see these as user-selectable options, which has the
other benefit of giving compile-time coverage. For your example,
I'd suggest doing

config PINCTRL_MT8173
bool "Mediatek MT8173 pin control"
depends on ARCH_MEDIATEK || COMPILE_TEST
select PINCTRL_MTK_COMMON
help
... a useful description ...
