No, just pointing out that there would be a way to avoid the ifdef
without messing up driver behaviour. I'm fine with the ifdef - not least
because it clearly eliminates code that would be unreachable.
(On second thought - I don't want to speculate whether there's weird
compiler options that could result in the nvram_check_checksum and
nvram_read_bytes symbols to still be referenced in the final link, even
though IS_BUILTIN(CONFIG_NVRAM) always evaluates to false. Best leave
this as-is.)

Of course - I'd seen Geert's acked-by on some of the patches and forgot
to check which still required acks.
Cheers,
Michael
