It seems to me that this is the commonly used style in u-boot. The same
happens for the i2c_init_board, some lines before, and in a lot of other
modules:
void __def_i2c_init_board(void)
{
return;
}
void i2c_init_board(void)
__attribute__((weak, alias("__def_i2c_init_board")));
Simply grepping in u-boot code, the default function is defined even if
it does nothing,
Regards,
Stefano
