Actually, I think the following would be slightly cleaner:

#ifdef CONFIG_HAS_UID
# define HAS_UID	(1)
#else
# define HAS_UID	(0)
#endif

/* ... */

	if (((strcmp (name, "serial#") == 0)
			&& (!HAS_UID || (flag != 0xdeaf4add)))
		|| ((strcmp (name, "ethaddr") == 0)

(I may have miscounted the parentheses though...I certainly see the
need for working syntax highlighting on this code ;-)
