Given Vladimirs comments, this is just FYI:

You should not use #if like this. Use

	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NET_DSA_MV88E6XXX_GLOBAL2))
		return chip->info->global2_addr != 0;
	return false;

The advantage of this is it all gets compiled, so syntax errors in the
mostly unused leg get found quickly. The generated code should still
be optimal, since at build time it can evaluate the if and completely
remove it.
