Nit: add a return here to avoid the "else" and save one tab indent level
for the code below. That will be more pleasant to the eyes :)

The second argument of bic_to_bfqq() is a bool. So it would make more
sense to use false/true instead of 0/1. That said, creating 2 helpers
bic_to_async_bfqq() and bic_to_sync_bfqq() without that second argument
would make the code more readable and less error prone I think.

You are referencing the entity variable once here only. So is it really

Why the line split for the last argument ?

See comment above. This is really broken I think. You should not use a
bool as an array index. Write it as:
if (is_sync)
return bic->bfqq[1][actuator_idx];
return bic->bfqq[0][actuator_idx];
Or as suggested, create 2 helpers.

Same comment as above. Using a bool as an index array feels very wrong to
me. This seems very fragile/dependent on waht the compiler does with bool
type.

Given that you are repeating this same pattern many times, the test for
bic != NULL should go into the bic_to_bfqq() helper.

Generally, function comments use the multi-line comment style...

Nit: You did comment about this in the commit message. So I do not think
having this comment here helps.
Note that you could have a prep patch before this patch that gather the
actuator information for the device, and only does that. So this function
here could actually have meat instead of being empty. But that may make
the entire series more complicated, so not a big deal.

Missing a blank line before this hunk, after the declaration. And I
personally think that this is totally unreadable. Using a plain if/else

Why not simply initialize num_actuators to BFQ_MAX_ACTUATORS when it is

That seems really excessive... What about 4 or 8 ?
