Hi Helge,

A few thoughts on this:

Firstly, thanks for your patch, which I agree addresses the problem you
have described.

However, AFAIK, this is a rather old driver and I'm not sure that
addressing somewhat cosmetic problems are worth the churn they cause:
maybe it's best to leave it be.

But if we do want to fix this problem, I do wonder if the following
solution, which leverages IS_ENABLED, is somehow nicer as
it slightly reduces the amount of conditionally compiled code,
thus increasing compile test coverage.
