I'd prefer the dummy functions, since that is in line with what a lot of other subsystems do: #ifdef CONFIG_OF extern int of_dma_controller_register(struct device_node *np, struct dma_chan *(*of_dma_xlate) (struct of_phandle_args *, struct of_dma *), void *data); extern void of_dma_controller_free(struct device_node *np); extern struct dma_chan *of_dma_request_slave_channel(struct device_node *np, char *name); extern struct dma_chan *of_dma_simple_xlate(struct of_phandle_args *dma_spec, struct of_dma *ofdma); #else static inline int of_dma_controller_register(struct device_node *np, struct dma_chan *(*of_dma_xlate) (struct of_phandle_args *, struct of_dma *), void *data) { return -ENODEV; } static inline void of_dma_controller_free(struct device_node *np) { } static inline struct dma_chan *of_dma_request_slave_channel(struct device_node *np, char *name) { return NULL; } static inline struct dma_chan *of_dma_simple_xlate(struct of_phandle_args *dma_spec, struct of_dma *ofdma) { return NULL; } #endif I believe that Jon is on vacation this week, so if this is the only issue holding up the merge, maybe you can change this in his patch directly, or I can send an updated version if you prefer.
