This whole series adds a whole lot of ifdef'ery, which I think is the
worst approach. It makes the code less readable and leads to two code
paths, which may trigger different build errors depending on the config.
I'm sure it must be possible to do the same without adding more #ifdefs,
e.g. by introducing a function like dev_of_fbinfo(fbinfo) which
simply returns NULL for the FB_DEVICE=n case. Then, that value can be tested
like
if (dev_of_fbinfo(fbinfo))
{...do-the-things...}
For the FB_DEVICE=n case this will then be optimized out by the compiler,
while you still have full compiler syntax checking.
Thoughts?
I second you. I am also not a fan of ifdeffery when it can be avoided.
