Is it a code savings goal? Or something else? The file will not be present in the system if the option is not enabled, so it should be safe to not do this unless you feel it's necessary for some reason?
To accommodate the request, all DEVICE_ATTR() must be unconditionally present in this file. The DEVICE_ATTR() requires the .show() callback. As the callback is referenced from a data structure, the callback has to be present for link. All the callbacks for these attributes are in this file.
I have two basic choices for gutting the function body if the config feature is not enabled. I can either use #ifdef or IS_ENABLED(). Thomas has made it clear I need to use IS_ENABLED(). I can certainly use #ifdef (which is what I did in v24).
Not doing this would make the diff easier to read :)
I agree this is messy. I'm not really sure what this request/effort achieves as these attributes are not strongly related (unlike cacheinfo) and the way the file was before results in less code.
At any rate, please indicate if you'd rather I use #ifdef. Thanks for your time! eric
thanks, greg k-h
