Removing cl would change the interface of cmdq_pkt_create(). And this
is related to different maintainer's tree. So it would be a long time
to process. For you, only removing ifdes is urgent, so use
cmdq_pkt_create() is not urgent. So let's keep
mtk_drm_cmdq_pkt_create() and you could remove ifdefs.
