Yeah, I don't expect he driver to work on real hardware, but I'm
mostly worried about the fact that it also gets very little build
coverage.
The fact that I found the i2c semantic conflict mainly because I was
looking for it (it's cropped up multiple times this merge window) but
*without* seeing it as a build error, that's what worries me.
So I think the
depends on I2C_DESIGNWARE_PLATFORM=y
might be better with a "|| COMPILE_TEST" to at least find the build
issues, even if actual runtime testing is a different anumal entirely.
