Thanks for your patch!

So ARCH_BCM4908 covers ARM64, and BCM63XX || BMIPS_GENERIC
cover MIPS.  Is there some symbol covering ARM so we can change the
depends to

    depends on FOO || ARCH_BCM4908 || BCM63XX || BMIPS_GENERIC || COMPILE_TEST

?

Anyway, this is definitely a step in the good direction!

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
