Not exactly, I think the use case you were looking for is explained in
my previous answer and this #ifdef stands for the opposite situation,
where someone using the 'legacy' commands wants to interact with
devices with DM compliant drivers: the MTD device won't be registered
before (and thus, not accessible) the mtd_probe_device() call.
For other devices the use will have to probe manually the device, eg.
for SPI-NOR: 'sf probe 0'.
