Kconfig says:

config XENO_DRIVERS_CAN_SJA1000_PEAK_DNG
        depends on XENO_DRIVERS_CAN_SJA1000
        tristate "PEAK Parallel Port Dongle"
        help

        This driver is for the PCAN Dongle, the PC parallel port to CAN
        converter from PEAK Systems (http://www.peak-system.com). You need
        to disable parallel port support in the kernel (CONFIG_PARPORT) for
        proper operation. The interface type (sp or epp), I/O port and
        interrupt number should be defined via module parameters.

I do not think so either, but since we ship this patch, we should
check that it compiles at least... Or remove it.

No. Only plain shell. Anyway, what dominates the run-time is the
x86 debian-like .config builds. I do not plan to run these tests
after each commit or even every night, only to validate a relase
before pushing it on the download area.
