This sort of proves that a driver that depends on an unknown Kconfig
symbol gets no build coverage (and will bit rot).

My mistake, I should have spotted this when looking a Richard's patch.

Some background (which I quickly dug up): config MV_U3D_PHY got added in
v3.7 through commit a67e76ac904c ("usb: phy: mv_u3d: Add usb phy driver
for mv_u3d"). It then depended on USB_MV_U3D. And that symbol depended
on CPU_MMP3 at that time. Ie, MV_U3D_PHY was unbuildable when it was
added.

In commit 60630c2eabd4 ("usb: gadget: mv_u3d: drop ARCH dependency")
MV_U3D_PHY was made depended directly on  CPU_MMP3. That kept it
unbuildable, of course.

Richard, assuming you agree with the above short history of MV_U3D_PHY,
would you mind sending a v2 that removes this unbuildable driver?
