Thanks for looking into this.

As for __maybe_unused, I think it's better to keep #ifdef rather than
this attribute which seems to be meaning unused when actually its 
possible that it's used often(PM_SLEEP is def y). It's like saying 
unused when you are actually using it. The attribute seems like a
hack to avoid compilation error. Please correct me if I am wrong.
