I don't see much problem on keeping this for a while.
However, if not causing to much troubles for you to manage, I would to
this, instead:
#if 0
/* Currently, DVB API allows only bandwidths starting from 5 GHz */
factor = BANDWIDTH_TO_KHZ(ch->u.ofdm.bandwidth);
if (factor >= 5000)
factor = 1;
else
factor = 6;
#else
factor = 6;
#endif
With the above code, gentree.pl scripts will automatically remove the
dead code from the Kernel, while keeping it defined at the development
environment.
If you want, you may also replace the #if 0 by something like:
#ifdef API_SUPPORTS_LOW_BANDWIDTH
In this case, by adding API_SUPPORTS_LOW_BANDWIDTH to gentree.pl, the
same effect of eliminating the dead code from kernel can be produced,
since gentree.pl is capable of evaluating cpp macros like the above to 0
(or 1) for the constants declared on a table inside its code.
