/*
* GCC does not warn about unused static inline functions for -Wunused-function.
* Suppress the warning in clang as well by using __maybe_unused, but enable it
- * for W=1 build. This will allow clang to find unused functions. Remove the
- * __inline_maybe_unused entirely after fixing most of -Wunused-function warnings.
+ * for W=2 build. This will allow clang to find unused functions.
