When we were migrating toward GCC 6, we introduced a warning message that was displayed at build indicating older versions of GCC would be unsupported, and GCC 6 would become a requirement. The CONFIG_DM_I2C_COMPAT generates a build warning and suggests that it be removed. I would like to propose that in the future, when setting deadlines, we insert something into the build mechanism that generates a warning to tell people that something is going to happen.
