[PATCH] drivers/soc/litex: drop obsolete dependency on COMPILE_TEST

[PATCH] drivers/soc/litex: drop obsolete dependency on COMPILE_TEST

[Jean Delvare]

Since commit 0166dc11be91 ("of: make CONFIG_OF user selectable"), it
is possible to test-build any driver which depends on OF on any
architecture by explicitly selecting OF. Therefore depending on
COMPILE_TEST as an alternative is no longer needed.

It is actually better to always build such drivers with OF enabled,
so that the test builds are closer to how each driver will actually be
built on its intended target. Building them without OF may not test
much as the compiler will optimize out potentially large parts of the
code. In the worst case, this could even pop false positive warnings.
Dropping COMPILE_TEST here improves the quality of our testing and
avoids wasting time on non-existent issues.

As a minor optimization, this also lets us drop of_match_ptr() and
ifdef-guarding, as we now know what they will resolve to, we might as
well save cpp some work.

Despite your ack, this patch was never committed. Was it forgotten
somehow? Should I resubmit?

AFAIK, LiteX is too small to have its own direct path into Linus's
upstream tree, and so far any changes to LiteX specific kernel code
were filtered upstream through the respective dedicated subsystems
affected (e.g., mmc, networking, block, etc.).

IIRC Joel (cc-ed) might have been involved in the upstreaming of the
original LiteX soc driver -- is that correct? If so, which way did it
end up going upstream, and can we replicate that for Jean's patch?

Thanks much,

Arnd: since it's been a while (sorry about that), please advise on
whether Jean should re-send the original patch, unless you can grab
it directly from here and pull it through the soc tree:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221125142756.3e51a28d@endymion.delvare/

Thanks much,
