Then the code can be added back, not an issue.

But you forgot this same check in
drivers/staging/sm750fb/ddk750_hwi2c.c, right?

Also, what about removing the sm750_sw_i2c_write_reg() and other
functions that are now never referenced?  Can you add that to this patch
series?  A single series that just removes the use of USE_HW_I2C and the
now unneeded functions would be best, as it's not really a "coding
style" fix, but rather a code cleanup thing, right?
