The people reading the code or reviewing the patch might wonder, just
like I did, about the mismatch between the code and the Kconfig symbol.

Dead code - even if it's easily dealt with during the build - shouldn't
be added without a clear benefit. And I don't think consistency or doing
now what might be done in the future bring enough benefits.

Right, it's Linus decision.
