Oh! Clearly I misunderstood the problem.

I had to look thru 60 config files before I found one where CONFIG_RATIONAL
was not set.

And I'm still not sure, but I believe that it's because it has to be set
by some other Kconfig entry doing a 'select' on it.

Here are the kconfigs that select it (on i386, where I found it not set):

- COMMON_CLK [=n] && !HAVE_LEGACY_CLK [=n]
- SERIAL_8250_LPSS [=n] && TTY [=n] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && SERIAL_8250 [=n] && PCI [=n] && (X86 [=y] || COMPILE_TEST [=y])
- SERIAL_8250_MID [=n] && TTY [=n] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && SERIAL_8250 [=n] && PCI [=n] && (X86 [=y] || COMPILE_TEST [=y])
- SERIAL_IMX [=n] && TTY [=n] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && (ARCH_MXC || COMPILE_TEST [=y])
- VIDEO_V4L2 [=n] && MEDIA_SUPPORT [=n] && (I2C [=y] || I2C [=y]=n) && VIDEO_DEV [=n]
- SND_SOC_ROCKCHIP_PDM [=n] && SOUND [=n] && !UML && SND [=n] && SND_SOC [=n] && CLKDEV_LOOKUP [=n] && SND_SOC_ROCKCHIP [=n]
- COMMON_CLK_QCOM [=n] && COMMON_CLK [=n] && OF [=y] && (ARCH_QCOM || COMPILE_TEST [=y])

but my test config has none of those enabled, so I cannot set RATIONAL.

I guess the easiest solution is to have KUNIT or some sub-KUNIT test
just select RATIONAL.
