Yeah.

arch/powerpc is really ~7 separate sub architectures.

Building allmodconfig and ppc32_allmodconfig at least covers the bulk of
the code. But it doesn't include 4xx, or several other platforms.

I think the best/easiest option is just to enable this driver in the 44x
defconfig. At least that way the auto builders should catch any problems.

eg.

diff --git a/arch/powerpc/configs/ppc44x_defconfig b/arch/powerpc/configs/ppc44x_defconfig
