Do you mean: 'asm-generic' should not support 'COMPILE_TEST' (the
platform should not support 'COMPILE_TEST") ?

Or you mean: 'COMPILE_TEST' should not exist in kernel ?

Can we use 'asm-default' instead of 'asm-generic', since "if HW support,
it will provide default value, or it will provide nothing" ?


Thanks.
