Normally, I'm a fan of that sort of thing. However, in this case, I think it makes sense to have the #ifdefs right in the probe function; at least for me, it makes it easier to understand what's going on. The synaptics stuff is especially tricky; with a cursory glance over the code, one might assume that all the synaptics functions disappear when CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS is unset. However, if the #ifdef's are in the probe function, it's pretty clear that some synaptics functions still get called even when CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS is unset.
Just my opinion, anyways. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
