Honestly, do we really need all of this complexity? I have specific
configurations to test all of the PWM drivers to make sure they build.
There's probably edge cases that don't get tested, but sooner or later I
expect some build bot will encounter those and then we can rectify
things. But in many cases that I've seen COMPILE_TEST just happens to do
more harm than good.
