This relies on the compiler optimizing out the reference to slimbus_bus,
which doesn't exist in the CONFIG_SLIMBUS=n case (not tested, but I
think this means an O0 build will fail?).

That is correct: We rely on this everywhere in the kernel, which is why
it is impossible to build kernels with -O0.


Was there any patch sent to fix/improve this? I could not see any. Or any plan to do so?

Since I got no response, I'll assume 'no'. So I'll look to do this when I get a chance.

Thanks,
John
