Also, IS_ENABLED() is nice when you want to check if something is builtin or module, without having to write a complex expression. If you just replace the #ifdef with #if IS_BUILTIN as Felipe suggested, I see no real benefit, but it would be nice to write this as void __init tegra_hotplug_init(void) { if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU)) return; if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_TEGRA_2x_SOC)) && tegra_chip_id == TEGRA20) tegra_hotplug_shutdown = tegra20_hotplug_shutdown; if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_TEGRA_3x_SOC)) && tegra_chip_id == TEGRA30) tegra_hotplug_shutdown = tegra30_hotplug_shutdown; } which completely avoids all preprocessor conditionals and replaces them with compile-time choices based on constant expressions to eliminate the code paths for disabled platforms.
