The sof-pci-dev driver fails to link when built into the kernel
and CONFIG_SND_INTEL_DSP_CONFIG is set to =m:
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: sound/soc/sof/sof-pci-dev.o: in function `sof_pci_probe':
sof-pci-dev.c:(.text+0x1c): undefined reference to `snd_intel_dsp_driver_probe'
As a temporary fix, use IS_REACHABLE to prevent the problem from
happening. A more complete solution is to move this code to
Intel-specific parts, restructure the drivers and Kconfig as discussed
with Arnd Bergmann and Takashi Iwai.

This might not be good enough. The code may still refer to the
snd_intel_dsp_probe() symbol even if IS_REACHABLE() is false
(although, practically seen, gcc should optimize it out).
You need #if IS_REACHABLE() instead of the plain if.
Then you don't need to change the indentation, and the patch will be
eventually smaller, too :)
I used the if() on purpose since in the past you mentioned #if/#endif
are ugly. There are plenty of other cases in the kernel code where if(
IF_REACHABLE(CONFIG_XYZ)) is used...
I don't mind sending a v2, the net result is the same.
