Except it doesn't matter unless IF_ENABLED() is used by one of those.

Again, it doesn't matter unless IF_ENABLED() is used.

You also need to include linux/kernel.h in
drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-ingenic.c (for completeness).

Also, I don't understand why the use of IF_ENABLED doesn't produce
"defined but not used" warnings (if the function "ptr" is not marked as
__maybe_unused) ...

Also, if there is only one user of IF_ENABLED (and therefore PTR_IF),
why not just put it in that file and save me rebuilding the world again
every day because kernel.h is changed (again). I guess that is going
to happen just because kconfig.h is being changed and that is also
included by everything :-(

Also, is anyone else ever going to use PTR_IF() without having to also
use IS_ENABLED()?

So, in case it is not obvious, I consider this patch unnecessary churn
(as was probably the patch that introduced IF_ENABLED in the first
place).

As an aside, this should not have been added to the kbuild tree in
linux-next until after -rc1 was released ...
