Definitely.

But constant expressions are evaluated at compile time. So the dead
branch (if or else) doesn't generate any object code. There is no
memory footprint overhead.

When possible, I prefer to use C conditionals rather than preprocessor
conditionals. I raised the point because I see u-boot wants to get rid
of preprocessor mess when it brings no cost.
