I really dislike this patch. This adds ifdeffery (which everyone hates)
just for the sake of a static checker that depends on the build to be
run. There are a lot of static checkers out there which don't have this
requirement.

If you still want the build to include this stuff, fix it by adding a
working of_add_memory_bank() for sandbox, this would be both useful in a
general sense and fix your problem.

Regards,
Lucas
