Maybe we could add COMPILE_TEST to the version string too?
Just to detect such kernels fast in user bug reports...
What kind of bug report are you going to get?
User manages to enable CONFIG_FOO by selecting COMPILE_TEST and
complains that it does not work. :)
These drivers are typically drivers for some SoC peripheral and the device
will simply physically not exist on a platform that does not provide
HAS_IOMEM. This is not really any different from making the driver
selectable via COMPILE_TEST for any other platform. To hit the issue you'd
have to instantiate a device driver instance for a device that physically
does not exist. This will always result in a failure.
