The stubs are what has led to the previous bugs in this area to often
go unnoticed for too long, as illustrated by your suggestion

I assume you meant "select QCOM_SCM if ARCH_QCOM",
after we stop using ARM_SMMU_QCOM?

The "almost" is the problem: consider the case of

CONFIG_ARM=y
CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST=y
CONFIG_ARCH_QCOM=n
CONFIG_ARM_SMMU=y
CONFIG_DRM_MSM=m
CONFIG_QCOM_SCM=m (selected by DRM_MSM)

The stubs here lead to ARM_SMMU linking against the QCOM_SCM
driver from built-in code, which fails because QCOM_SCM itself
is a loadable module.

We can move the "select QCOM_SCM" in the ARM_SMMU_QCOM
symbol if we make that a tristate though, if you want to separate it
a little more.
