We discussed internally and have another solution for this issue.
Add one lantiq.h in the serial folder, and use "#ifdef preprocessor" in
lantiq.h,
also providing no-op stub functions in the #else case, then call those
functions
unconditionally from lantiq.c to avoid #ifdef in C file.

To support CCF in legacy product is another topic, is not included in
this patch.

The implementation is as following:
#ifdef CONFIG_LANTIQ
#include <lantiq_soc.h>
#else
#define LTQ_EARLY_ASC 0
#define CPHYSADDR(_val) 0

static inline struct clk *clk_get_fpi(void)
{
    return NULL;
}
#endif
