This configuration doesn't make sense, but there is no easy way
to make it unavailable in the build system, so just mark the
functions as __maybe_unused instead.


What about?

#if defined(CONFIG_1) || defined(CONFIG_2)
#define NEED_POWER_SUPPLY
#endif

And then wrap power supply code into #ifdef NEED_POWER_SUPPLY?

I thought about wrapping the whole code in an ifdef, but I don't
think compiling an empty file is any better than adding the
__maybe_unused flag.

We would need to wrap everything in that then, so without I2C or
platform enabled we end up compiling an empty file. I think the
better fix would be to modify the Kconfig, something like:

Handling this in Kconfig is preferred of course.

config BATTERY_BQ27XXX
tristate
depends on (BATTERY_BQ27XXX_I2C || BATTERY_BQ27XXX_PLATFORM)
default y

config BATTERY_BQ27XXX_I2C
bool "BQ27200/BQ27500 support"
depends on I2C
help
Say Y here to enable support for batteries with BQ27x00 (I2C) chips.

config BATTERY_BQ27XXX_PLATFORM
bool "BQ27000 support"
help
Say Y here to enable support for batteries with BQ27000 (HDQ) chips.

This would be more in line with how other multi-bus devices handle
this issue when nether bus is selected.

If I'm not mistaken, this way it's impossible to build the code as
module. You need to move the tristate to the individual bus options.
This would require to split the code, so that two separate modules
are built. I checked the tree and found a few examples:

* building one modules for each bus, core support is autoselected, but always built-in
- BMP085

* building a core modules + one module for each bus
- AD525X_DPOT
- ADE7854
- ADT7316
- INPUT_AD714X
- INPUT_ADXL34X
- TOUCHSCREEN_AD7879
- TOUCHSCREEN_CYTTSP_CORE
- TOUCHSCREEN_CYTTSP4_CORE

Instead of restructuring the whole driver, we could also just built
the platform code unconditionally. The platform specific code is
just a probe + remove function and bq27xxx_battery_platform_read().
The last one could be dropped, if the pdata->read function is
modified (effectively moving the code into the w1 driver).

A quick test shows the following Kconfig to work as desired, selecting one
or both buses as modules builds the driver as a module, if ether are
selected as built-in the whole driver is built-in.

config BATTERY_BQ27XXX
tristate
depends on (BATTERY_BQ27XXX_I2C || BATTERY_BQ27XXX_PLATFORM)
default y

config BATTERY_BQ27XXX_I2C
tristate "BQ27xxx I2C support"
depends on I2C
help
Say Y here to enable support for batteries with BQ27xxx (I2C) chips.

config BATTERY_BQ27XXX_PLATFORM
tristate "BQ27xxx HDQ support"
help
Say Y here to enable support for batteries with BQ27xxx (HDQ) chips.

We would then have to change:
#ifdef CONFIG_BATTERY_BQ27XXX_I2C

to

#if defined(CONFIG_BATTERY_BQ27XXX_I2C) || defined(CONFIG_BATTERY_BQ27XXX_I2C_MODULE)

(same for CONFIG_BATTERY_BQ27XXX_PLATFORM)
