I think it's what most drivers do, even though I tend to prefer not adding #ifdefs making code less clean only for COMPILE_TESTING.No, most drivers added it long time ago before we switched it to a new way - either __maybe_unused or without anything even. The point is that OF driver can be reused for ACPI platforms. If you limit it with ifdef or of_match_ptr, the ACPI platform won't have any table to use for binding.
Oh, I see, thanks for the clarification. I wonder if it makes sense to mass-remove all of them and remove the macro. -- Luca
