I don't like this change.
I think it's perfectly good style to use:

1	void foo(args...)
2	{
3	#ifdef CONFIG_FOO
4		...
5	#endif
6	}

instead of

1	#ifdef CONFIG_FOO
2	void foo(args...)
3	{
4		...
5	}
6	#else
7	void foo(args...)
8	{
9	}
10	#endif

The first version is shorter and gcc optimizes
away the void func just fine.  It also means
that 2 function prototypes don't need to be
kept in agreement when someone changes one
without testing CONFIG_FOO=y and CONFIG_FOO=n.
