Hi Paul and others,

Sorry to hijack this but I actually want to do something similar to
this in some other drivers.
The targets I'm working with have only 64MB of ram so I want to remove
code wherever possible.
Is there any reason to do it like this instead of wrapping the whole
unneeded of_device_id struct in an #ifdef?
For example there is a rule that the compatible strings have to be
present even if the driver isn't usable or something?

Thanks,

Daniel
