Yes agree on the ugliness of this. However, my thought was these would
only remain until we migrate over to device-tree and then the detection
of the a 32k source can be determine via DT.

However, I can update to use __maybe_unused for now. We just need to
remember to remove this in the future if it becomes unnecessary :-)
