Yes, I can understand.

But at present, it seems only 'asm-generic' can play the unlucky role
for current issues (at least, it is neither architectures issue nor
modules issue).

Hmm..., I think maybe also has another way: get rid of 'COMPILE_TEST'
(regress the related patch, which is only existent in next-* tree).

Or could you provide your suggestions or completions about it ?

Thanks.

Currently, I am trying to compile all architectures with allmodconfig in
next-* tree (which will have "COMPILE_TEST=y").

So I can find and solve the related issues (I am one of contributors).

One of main issues is about it.


Thanks.
