Is there any reasonable solution for this? 1. One group is saying use COMPILE_TEST for every driver to have better coverage. 2. Next group is saying I don't want to build everything for my arch. Fixing Kconfig to say !x86 is probably not the right way to go. Isn't it enough not to enable absolutely everything? Thanks, Michal --=20 Michal Simek, Ing.
