Hmm, again you are trying to complex things.

Issue is not of valid C or not.

Issue is #if defined(__KERNEL__) && (<unknown>) is WRONG.

It should be :

#ifdef __KERNEL__
#ifdef <unknown>

otherwise how you will pass it to userspace.

Why you are looking on kernel side only why do not you think about user
space ?
please check how it will look at usr/include/asm-arm/hwcap.h
