Arnd,

I have a more general question that is related only vaguely to this patch but it was prompted by it:
given that this pcie-rcar.c driver is so dependent on the OF functionality, why the fix(es) (in
general) tend to prefer creating these dummy functions for !CONFIG_OF rather than making
CONFIG_PCI_RCAR_GEN2_PCIE dependent on CONFIG_OF? We are basically compiling a driver that we can
guarantee it will fail when used without OF support and contribute to the overall size of the kernel.
Given the presentation you have done at Linaro Connect last month on this topic, I started to wonder
if there is a deeper API style agreement that is not apparent to me?

Thanks for your time,
Liviu
