Hi Laurent,

Thank you for the patch.

This adds RCAR Gen2 USB phy support. The driver configures
USB channels 0/2 which are shared between PCI USB hosts and
USBHS/USBSS devices. It also controls internal USBHS phy.

 From a development point of view it's always nice to be able to compile
the driver for a wider range of devices, even if the device is only found
in the R8A779[01]. This allows catching compilation errors, for instance
caused by API changes that affect all drivers using the API being
modified.

Compiling a dirver for an unsupported architecture also seems to be more
error-prone.

It happened to me previously that a subsystem refactoring touching lots of
drivers forgot to update one of the drivers I was maintaining. This went
undetected as the driver could only be compiled for a very restricted set of
platforms, breaking compilation in mainline. It's easier to avoid this kind of
situation if the driver can be compiled for a larger number of platforms.

I would use either

	depends on ARM

or

	depends on ARCH_R8A7790 || ARCH_R8A7791 || COMPILE_TEST

(assuming the driver can compile on non-ARM platforms, otherwise the above
line could be changed to ARCH_R8A7790 || ARCH_R8A7791 || (ARM &&
COMPILE_TEST)).

OK, I'll take a look.
Do all the drivers have to support COMPILE_TEST?

There's currently no rule, but if the driver can only be compiled for a
restricted set of platforms, I would say that supporting COMPILE_TEST would be
a good practice. It of course needs to be restricted to the platforms on which
the driver will actually compile :-)

OK thanks.
I'll probably go with the safest option:
ARCH_R8A7790 || ARCH_R8A7791 || (ARM && COMPILE_TEST)

It does compile on x86 though, and may compile on other platforms as well.

Thanks,
Val.
