That's an issue, the hardware configuration should not depend on kernel 
configuration setting. This makes it impossible to run the same kernel on 
platforms with conflicting settings. It should be possible to configure this 
dynamically at boot time based on platform_data/devicetree, etc.

But is this device real hardware anyway?

Where is the implementation for these functions? The fact that they seem to 
operate on global state indicates that something is wrong wit this API.
