BTW, that Fixes tag is incorrect.

Irrespective of 025f072e5823947c, you could manually enable
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING from menuconfig etc.

So, this build error would have been found much earlier
if somebody had been running randconfig tests on m68k.

It is impossible to detect this error on other architectures
because the driver config options are guarded by
'depends on ATARI' or 'depends on AMIGA'.


The correct tag is:

Fixes: 9012d011660e ("compiler: allow all arches to enable
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING")

The commit id is stable.



As an additional work,
depends on (AMIGA || COMPILE_TEST)
would be nice unless this driver contains m68k-specific code.
