IMHO, *sometimes* it makes sense to not use #ifdef and code it instead like this:
   			if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_LOGO) &&
			    !strcmp(options, "center"))
...
That way the compiler will optimize that code away as well, but in
addition it will compile-check that you have correct coding independend
if CONFIG_LOGO is set or not.

same here.
