The patch is technically correct, but the preferred way of doing this is
to define a conditional inline function in the header, like:

#ifdef CONFIG_MMIO_NVRAM
extern int mmio_nvram_init(void);
#else
static inline int mmio_nvram_init(void)
{
	return 0;
}
#endif

so that the caller does not need to know about it.
