spin_is_locked() broken for uniprocessor?

I just want to validate that what I'm seeing (for UP, non-debug features):

spin_is_locked() is defined as:

include/linux/spinlock.h:#define spin_is_locked(lock) __raw_spin_is_locked(&(lock)->raw_lock)

for UP that should get us:

include/linux/spinlock_up.h:#define __raw_spin_is_locked(lock) ((void) (lock), 0)

which implies to me that spin_is_locked() will always return false. Is this expected behavior.
