And what happens if you just drop this declaration? It still not clear
to me why this belongs to this header, giving that AFAIK this var is
only used at drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dml/dcn31/dcn31_fpu.c

Note that this kind of information you explained to me would be very
useful if you had included it in a cover letter to add more context for
your patches :)
