xhci_suspend is not called through function pointer. xhci_bus_suspend is.

Depending on CONFIG_PM xhci_suspend is a function or a constant.
If someone in the future would decide to call this function directly, without
CONFIG_PM, he would fail with "error: called object ā€˜0uā€™ is not a function".
So, strictly speaking, this patch is not losing type informations. It's just wrong.

Sometimes people are tempted to do something like this:
#define xhci_suspend(X) (-EINVAL)
or when "function" does not return anything:
#define void_fun(X) do {} while (0)
or even worse:
#define void fun(X) {}

And this loses type information.

Without CONFIG_PM sloppy developer could call this "function" like this:
struct whatever *p = xhci_suspend("foo bar");
and it would compile fine. Defining it as
static inline int xhci_suspend(struct xhci_hcd *) { return -EINVAL; }
would prevent it.

But in this particular case I think the cleanest solutions is to just ifdef
everything out, without fallbacks. There's only one caller of xhci_suspend
and it's wrongly guarded by CONFIG_PM. Let's just fix.
