Without the core patches, enabling COMPILE_TEST, and compile-testing drivers irrelevant on obscure NO_DMA=y platforms will cause build failures. To play it safe, you want to postpone the subsystem patches until the core part has landed upstream. I will rebase and resubmit after v4.17-rc1. Thanks, and sorry for being unclear.
