My advice is to delete all the COMPILE_TEST code.  That stuff was a
constant source of confusion and headaches.

I was also going to suggest this. Since the COMPILE_TEST has been a
source of trouble I was going to propose dropping the || COMPILE_TEST
from the Kconfig for the octeon drivers.

Not having it also causes problems.  I didn't originally add it for
shits and giggles.

I wonder if the kbuild bot does enough cross compile build testing these
days to detect compile problems.  It might have improved to the point
where COMPILE_TEST isn't required.


Not really. Looking at the build failures in the mainline kernel right now:

Failed builds:
        alpha:allmodconfig
        arm:allmodconfig
        i386:allyesconfig
        i386:allmodconfig
        m68k:allmodconfig
        microblaze:mmu_defconfig
        mips:allmodconfig
        parisc:allmodconfig
        powerpc:allmodconfig
        s390:allmodconfig
        sparc64:allmodconfig

Many of those don't even _have_ specific configurations causing the build 
failures.
