It needs to be static inline: #ifdef CONFIG_USB_NO_XCEIV /* sometimes transceivers are accessed only through e.g. ULPI */ extern void usb_nop_xceiv_register(void); extern void usb_nop_xceiv_unregister(void); #else static inline void usb_nop_xceiv_register(void) { } static inline void usb_nop_xceiv_unregister(void) { } #endif And you need to make sure that the actual body of the function in the C file is encapsulated with #ifdef too, since the very point of having it under a config option is to not include it if it's not selected and needed. -Olof -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
