You mean trace.c, right? The definitions are indeed in the header,
trace.h, so I'm a bit confused what is actually the problem?

That alone should not cause any problems.

I would like to understand what is the root cause for the problem you
are seeing? CONFIG_FTRACE=n with CONFIG_TYPEC_UCSI=m alone compiles
just fine for me.

Using FTRACE as the condition here is indeed wrong, but changing that
so that we unconditionally compile trace.c is also wrong. We should
probable use CONFIG_TRACING instead of CONFIG_FTRACE. Can you check if
that works for you?


Thanks,
