I've been asked to move from depends ARM to no dependency at all, and have
thus settled for ARM || COMPILE_TEST in most cases, and just ARM where the
driver couldn't be compiled on other platforms.
I'm fine with your proposed option. As I don't want to respin the series
dozens of time let's first agree on the course of action, I will then repost
the patches. Mark, you've pushed towards as few platform dependencies as
possible, what's your opinion on this ?
