Personally, I think IS_REACHABLE() is a build-time band-aid solution to
a problem that should be solved in Kconfig. :p

I think it always means there's a configuration combo that shouldn't
exist, and it's a surprise to the user when they've configured
something, Kconfig has deemed it a valid configuration, but they don't
get the feature they want.

As a user, how would they even debug that case? Double check configs,
don't see anything wrong.


BR,
Jani.
