Compile-testing was enabled 2 years ago, in commit 2e280c188f06b190
("stmmac: make platform drivers depend on their associated SoC"), but the
dependency on COMMON_CLK was added only recently.
That's what triggered me: the drivers were suddenly disabled in m68k
allmodconfig,
while they built fine for years before.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
