I'm sorry, I didn't read it carefully. And I thought "imply" was meant
to fix exactly this kind of issue.

I don't want to create a hard dependency on AMD_IOMMU_V2 if I can avoid
it, because it is only really needed for a small number of AMD APUs, and
even there it is now optional for more recent ones.

Is there a better way to avoid build failures without creating a hard
dependency?  The documentation in
Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst suggests using if
(IS_REACHABLE(CONFIG_AMD_IOMMU_V2)) to guard those problematic function
calls. I think more generally, we could guard all of kfd_iommu.c with

    #if IS_REACHABLE(CONFIG_AMD_IOMMU_V2)

And use the same condition to define the stubs in kfd_iommu.h.
