[ Upstream commit 9818af18db4bfefd320d0fef41390a616365e6f7 ]
Per Nathan, clang catches unused "static inline" functions in C files since commit 6863f5643dd7 ("kbuild: allow Clang to find unused static inline functions for W=1 build").
Linus said:
So I entirely ignore W=1 issues, because I think so many of the extra warnings are bogus.
But if this one in particular is causing more problems than most - some teams do seem to use W=1 as part of their test builds - it's fine to send me a patch that just moves bad warnings to W=2.
And if anybody uses W=2 for their test builds, that's THEIR problem..
Here is the change to bump the warning from W=1 to W=2.
