The idea seems reasonable, disabling a platform may just turn off
all the drivers that are not useful elsewhere, but there are mistakes
in a lot of your changes, so I'm certainly not applying these for 5.4.

Generally speaking, the way that works best is

config SUBSYS_DRIVER_FOO
       tristate "SUBSYS support for FOO platform"
       depends on ARCH_FOO || COMPILE_TEST
       depends on SUBSYS
       default "m" if ARCH_FOO

This means it's enabled as a loadable module by default (use
default "y" instead where necessary) as long as the platform
is enabled, but an x86 allmodconfig build also includes it
because of COMPILE_TEST, while any configuration without
ARCH_FOO that is not compile-testing cannot enable it.
