The interactive bool is necessary if we want to be able to
select/deselect it in COMPILE_TEST configuration.
And personnaly, I think COMPILE_TEST use makes sense.

Note that other timer drivers are doing the same thing today
(CLKSRC_EFM32, SH_TIMER_CMT, EM_TIMER_STI...).

Do you have a specific concern regarding COMPILE_TEST?

Kind regards,
