Re: [v1] powerpc/mpc512x: silence build warning upon disabled DIU

Hi all,

a disabled Kconfig option results in a reference to a not implemented
routine when the IS_ENABLED() macro is used for both conditional
implementation of the routine as well as a C language source code test
at the call site -- the "if (0) func();" construct only gets eliminated
later by the optimizer, while the compiler already has emitted its
warning about "func()" being undeclared

provide an empty implementation for the mpc512x_setup_diu() and
mpc512x_init_diu() routines in case of the disabled option, to avoid the
compiler warning which is considered fatal and breaks compilation

the bug appeared with commit 2abbbb63c90ab55ca3f054772c2e5ba7df810c48
"powerpc/mpc512x: move common code to shared.c file", how to reproduce:

  make mpc512x_defconfig
  echo CONFIG_FB_FSL_DIU=n >> .config && make olddefconfig
  make

I just ran across this same compile issue, and I have a few thoughts
below.

I see an alternative solution:

Can't almost all of the code in mpc512x_shared.c be declared 'static'?
Then, you can get the real benefit of IS_ENABLED() by removing the

    #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FB_FSL_DIU)

from around all the DIU code, and it will automatically be removed by
the compiler when it is not used.

I think the current patch is necessary for immediate use, and it can be
sent to stable. But I might suggest a follow-up patch or 2 that makes
the functions static and kills the #ifdef entirely.

Thanks,
Brian
