Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] bcm/CmHost.c: Fix noisy compile warnings

COMPILE_TEST is just so that you can view build warnings.  We would say:

depends on USB && NET && (!64BIT || COMPILE_TEST)

of

depends on USB && NET && (X86_32 || (X86 && COMPILE_TEST))

If you don't have USB or NET, you're get build errors but they don't
indicate bugs.  If you build on X86_64 the warnings are real bugs.

regards,
dan carpenter
