I have a personal bias against ifdefs where possible, maybe @Heiko
remembers why riscv_noncoherent_supported() was not defined as something
like `void riscv_noncoherent_support(void){}` for when that CONFIG is
not enabled? If it was this could become a an IS_ENABLED & we wouldn't
have to be so careful about wrapping it's usage in ifdefs.

Your change in isolation makes sense to me though, so:
