Before after won't matter much I guess... If you really want to clean
the code, I wonder what is exactly the point of those dummy functions
if we can't call those outside of #ifdefs. I mean a cleanup that adds
more #ifdefs when there are explicit dummy functions which I assume
are meant to be used outside of #ifdef CONFIG_SYSFS doesn't sound so
clean in the first place. I understand you need to refactor the code
above to call those outside of #ifdefs but hey if you're happy with
#ifdef I'm happy too :). It just looks fishy to read sysfs.h dummy
functions and #ifdefs. When I wrote the code I hardly could have
wondered about the sysfs #ifdefs but at this point it's only cleanups
I'm seeing so I actually noticed that.
