Maybe both/neither of us.  :-)

Please help to check the patch below, thanks.

--------------------------patch begin----------------------------------

'asm-generic' need provide necessary configuration checking, if can't
pass checking, 'asm-generic' shouldn't implement it.

For 'COMPILE_TEST', according to its help contents, 'asm-generic' need
let it pass configuration checking, and provide related dummy contents
for it.

Part of 'COMPLE_TEST' help contents in "init/Kconfig":

  "...Despite they cannot be loaded there (or even when they load they cannot be used due to missing HW support)..."

One sample for using 'COMPILE_TEST':

  'PTP_1588_CLOCK_PCH' in drivers/ptp/Kconfig, which need depend on 'HAS_IOMEM'.
