[PATCH 4.9 02/66] compiler, clang: suppress warning for unused static inline functions

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Rientjes <rientjes@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit abb2ea7dfd82451d85ce669b811310c05ab5ca46 upstream.

GCC explicitly does not warn for unused static inline functions for
-Wunused-function.  The manual states:

	Warn whenever a static function is declared but not defined or
	a non-inline static function is unused.

Clang does warn for static inline functions that are unused.

It turns out that suppressing the warnings avoids potentially complex
#ifdef directives, which also reduces LOC.

Suppress the warning for clang.
