Right..

I kind of expecting to use the other way. That is to make CONFIG_WBRF agnostic to other subsystems or drivers.
They (other subsystems or drivers) can always assume those wbrf_xxxxx interfaces are available.
What they need to care only are the return values of those interfaces.
How do you think?
