This patch series was a prerequisite for a larger rework of Renesas platforms. However, we've decided to go with an alternative approach that renames Kconfig symbols to avoid touching all the drivers. There is thus no urgency to apply this series anymore. I still plan to enable COMPILE_TEST on Renesas drivers. I will send a v3 of these patches based on the feedback received on v2. Patches from v2 that have already been applied can be dropped, but there's no need to revert them rebase trees as they're not invalid per-se. I will make sure to address the situation in v3. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
