Re: [net-next PATCH] amd-xgbe: use __maybe_unused to hide pm functions

The amd-xgbe ethernet driver hides its suspend/resume functions
in #ifdef CONFIG_PM, but uses SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS() to make the
reference conditional on CONFIG_PM_SLEEP, which results in a
warning when PM_SLEEP is not set but PM is:

drivers/net/ethernet/amd/xgbe/xgbe-platform.c:553:12: error: 'xgbe_platform_resume' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
drivers/net/ethernet/amd/xgbe/xgbe-platform.c:533:12: error: 'xgbe_platform_suspend' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]

This removes the incorrect #ifdef and instead uses a __maybe_unused
annotation to let the compiler know it can silently drop
the function definition.

I originally submitted this when in March 2016, but the patch has not
yet made it upstream, and the file contents have moved around so
the old patch no longer applied so I'm resending the rebased version
now.
By and large, drivers handle this by using a CONFIG_PM_SLEEP ifdef.

Unless you can make an extremely convincing argument why not to do
so here, I'd like you to handle it that way instead.

Thanks.
