I recall that I had proposed a patch for this a long time ago:

	https://lore.kernel.org/all/20191209120005.2254786-3-thierry.reding@xxxxxxxxx/

Given that Joerg had acked it at the time, I think the only reason why
it never ended up getting merged is because the rest of the series did
not get enough traction. I wonder if I should peel it out of the series
and propose it separately.

I agree it doesn't make any sense to have the stubs to allow compilation
and then break compilation because users of the stubs will end up
wanting to dereference the structure.
