My intention was to compile test (device tree) drivers also without CONFIG_OF which is disabled by defconfig default on arch/x86/configs/* > Compile-testing drivers that need OF_GPIO while OF is disabled makes > no sense to me, it's not a configuration that anybody can ever use > and it adds no build coverage. That seems sensible. If we can agree that anyone who wants to compile test drivers has to enable CONFIG_OF even it is not needed for the current configuration.
