Shame this was somehow forgotten.
There was a v3 of this patch that fixed a bunch of things (e.g. making
these proper functions so all builds error if accidentally used in
#if).

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211112185203.280040-3-valentin.schneider@arm.com/

Is it also possible to take all the rest of that series (all 4
patches) from Valentin?
