I agree that fixing this in the pci headers would be best. Ideally we would
be able to compile-test PCI drivers without any #ifdef in the sources,
while ending up with an empty .o file as the compiler can discard all
local functions starting with an unused pci_driver.

I saw the error in a randconfig build, uploaded the .config to
https://pastebin.com/zBeyM41R now.
