I usually recommend the use of __maybe_unused for the suspend/resume
callbacks for drivers that use SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS() or similar helpers
that hide the exact conditions under which the functions get called.
In this driver, there is an explicit #ifdef in the reference to the
functions, so
it would make sense to use the same #ifdef around the definition.
A better question to ask is whether you could use the helpers instead,
and drop the other #ifdef.
