Thanks for reporting this issue. I only did a partial build with
make M=drivers/bcma but didn't think about implicit dependencies
on other drivers.

I've posted this patch that should avoid this issue:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7391551/

So this patch ("bcma: mips: Allow build if COMPILE_TEST is enabled")
depend on that patch ("mtd: Make MTD_BCM47XXSFLASH to depend on MIPS"),
right? So I cannot apply the bcma patch until the mtd patch is in my
tree.

That's correct, sorry for not stating it explicitly.

Ok, I put the patch now to "Awaiting Upstream" state in patchwork and
will apply it once I have the mtd patch.

I don't see "mtd: Make MTD_BCM47XXSFLASH to depend on MIPS" in 4.4-rc1.

Yeah, my patch started a very long discussion which has become too MIPS
specific for me to follow. The latest email from January 24 is [0].

I'll drop this now, please resend once the dependency patch is applied.


Yeah, just drop the patch and I can resend if/when the discussion of the
first patch settles and someone fix it properly.
