Since commit 6863f5643dd7 ("kbuild: allow Clang to find unused static
inline functions for W=1 build"). clang warns about unused static inline
functions in .c files, unlike GCC (they both do not warn for functions
coming from .h files). This difference is worked around for the normal
build by adding '__maybe_unused' to the definition of 'inline' but
Masahiro wanted to disable it for W=1 to allow this difference to find
unused/dead code. There have not been too many complaints as far as I am
aware but I can see how it is surprising.

Cheers,
Nathan
