This is one of the cases in which we can't go without changing the
original code, because parse_xy() is a static function.
Including the test into the source is not the only option, we could as
well make the function visible unconditionally, or introduce a macro
similar to VISIBLE_IF_KUNIT.
Do you prefer any of those?
