The compiler optimizes everything away after that return 0 and so
doesn't need that symbol at all.

I just tested compiling your series without patch #6, x86_64 allmodconfig + PWM=n.

nm doesn't report the need for devm_pwm_lpss_probe in
drivers/pinctrl/intel/pinctrl-intel.o.

The build isn't done yet, but I don't expect surprises.

Best regards
Uwe
