Since commit 057b52b4b3d58 ("watchdog: da9062: make restart handler atomic
safe"), the driver calls i2c functions directly. It now therefore depends
on I2C. This is a hard dependency which overrides COMPILE_TEST.

I just wondered why it doesn't complain if no regmap support is on and
surprise it provides stubs ^^ Is it worth to add i2c stubs too?


I'd rather not go there. In practice it doesn't make much of a difference -
it just ensures that COMPILE_TEST can run on architectures which don't
support I2C. I think 0day only finds it because they select COMPILE_TEST
and then selectively disable I2C (and maybe other configuration options)
to catch problems like this.
