Hi Kemeng,

I'm not a fan of adding "#ifdef" blocks in functions everywhere. The 
right thing to do is to put these "#ifdef" blocks in header files and to 
make the macro or functions empty if you want to make these codes 
conditionally-compiled out.

The standard usage in kernel looks like:

In the header file: "a.h"

#ifdef CONFIG_XXXX
void foo(struct sas_task *task);
#else
static inline void foo(struct sas_task *task)
{
}
#endif

or

#ifdef CONFIG_XXXX
#define foo()  do_something()
#else
#define foo()
#endif

And in the c file: "a.c"

#include "a.h"

void bar(void)
{
	foo();
	something_else();
}

Please refer to:
https://docs.kernel.org/process/4.Coding.html?#ifdef-and-preprocessor-use-in-general

Thanks,
Jason
