So, after looking into this, my suggestion would be to: 1) remove the
#ifdef CONFIG_PM_OPP from energy.c entirely; 2) make sure
init_sched_energy() is stubbed properly for !CONFIG_SMP and
!CONFIG_PM_OPP in include/linux/sched/energy.h; 3) relocate the global
variables (energy_model, freq_domains, ...) to fair.c; and 4) modify
kernel/sched/Makefile with something like:

ifeq ($(CONFIG_PM_OPP),y)
obj-$(CONFIG_SMP) += energy.o
endif

That way, energy.c is not compiled if not needed by the arch, and the
ifdef are kept within header files and Makefiles.

Would that work ?

Thanks,
