Hypothetical "it would be nice to have ..." is really unneeded.

       if (context && CONFIG_DRM_I915_FENCE_TIMEOUT > 0)
                     return
msecs_to_jiffies_timeout(CONFIG_DRM_I915_FENCE_TIMEOUT);


is enough, and much cleaner.



This warning is shown only when a constant is used
together with '&&'.

Most of IS_ACTIVE can go away.

Given that, there are not many places where the IS_ACTIVE macro
is useful, even in the i915 driver.

For a few sources of the warnings,
replacing it with  != 0 or > 0 is just fine.

Of course, such an ugly macro is not worth being moved to <linux/kconfig.h>
