It is used in a driver [1] in an OF specific function. The patch is
in my second series that depends this one.
"[PATCH RFC 00/12] Device tree support for Exynos4 SoC camera drivers"

I thought it was better to add this empty macro definition rather
than using #ifdef CONFIG_OF in the code. However, in this case
the local variables would remain unused, so it's not really any
good solution. It just looked cumbersome to me to have in the code
something like

#ifdef CONFIG_OF
int func(void)
{
	int x;
	....
	return x;
}	
#else
#define func() (-ENOSYS)
#endif

After all it's not that bad and allows to compile out all OF code
when it's unused.

Please ignore patches 05..07/13, I'll drop them in next iteration.
And sorry for the noise.
