No, I didn't misread it but I should have been clearer with the intention:
The idea is to tell the compiler that we know it will be NULL when CONFIG_OF
is unset, so it can optimize out all code that does
struct device_node *dn = dev_of_node(dev);
if (dn) {
...
/* complex code */
...
}
and we can avoid using an #ifdef or if(IS_ENABLED()) in the source to
compile out the DT-only sections of a driver.
