Well, it does not follow our coding style.

Documentation/process/coding-style.rst:

	At the end of any non-trivial #if or #ifdef block (more than a few lines),
	place a comment after the #endif on the same line, noting the conditional
	expression used.  For instance:

	.. code-block:: c

		#ifdef CONFIG_SOMETHING
		...
		#endif /* CONFIG_SOMETHING */

'%' in vim let you jump between matching ifdef/endif as well.
