This is not exactly what I meant.

In your original patch, two or three line snippets of code were conditionalized.

That's what I wanted you to do here.  Keep as much common code around as possible
in the driver *.c file, but the small 2 or 3 line conditional parts are implemented
in very small well contained inline functions implemented in a header file.

These small, 2 or 3 line, inline functions are where the ifdefs go.

I didn't mean to replicate all of the functions, in their entirety, into some
header file.

You might was well put the entire driver into a header file, then you can add
all the ifdefs you want :-)
