There is no need since the compiler can figure that out already when there
is a reference to the function from dead code.

I don't see a lot of other instances of that yet, and it's fairly new.
Maybe we should fix it before it gets propagated further.

I would suggest we redefine pm_ptr like

#define pm_ptr(_ptr) (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PM) ? (_ptr) : NULL)

and remove the __maybe_unused annotations on those that we
already have. This also has the effect of dropping the unused
data from the object, but without having to an an #ifdef or
__maybe_unused.

Adding Paul and Rafael to Cc for clarification on this.
