No, we only develop arm-based SoC, never for x86 or mips.
We never compile the driver for x86 or mips machine.
You don't, but the Linux community does build for those architectures. Most
people do tree wide refactoring work using x86. Tree wide cleanups using x86,
etc. Any changes like that could touch your driver. The harder is it to build, the
less build testing it will get, and tree wide changes which break it are less likely
to get noticed.  So you really do want it to compile cleanly for all
architectures. If it does not, it normally actually means you are doing
something wrong, something you need to fix anyway. So please do build it for
x86 and make sure it builds cleanly.

Ok, I understand.
I'll add COMPILE_TEST and compile driver for x86.

Thanks,
