Sounds good.  The config_check.c file itself lists the dependencies:

void check(void)
{
        /*
         * These kconfig symbols must be set to "m" for nfit_test to
         * load and operate.
         */
        BUILD_BUG_ON(!IS_MODULE(CONFIG_LIBNVDIMM));
        BUILD_BUG_ON(!IS_MODULE(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PMEM));
        BUILD_BUG_ON(!IS_MODULE(CONFIG_ND_BTT));
        BUILD_BUG_ON(!IS_MODULE(CONFIG_ND_PFN));
        BUILD_BUG_ON(!IS_MODULE(CONFIG_ND_BLK));
        BUILD_BUG_ON(!IS_MODULE(CONFIG_ACPI_NFIT));
        BUILD_BUG_ON(!IS_MODULE(CONFIG_DEV_DAX));
        BUILD_BUG_ON(!IS_MODULE(CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM));
}
