Does your gcc have fix for https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81715 ?
For me gcc rejects to inline it:
gcc version 7.3.0 (Debian 7.3.0-5)
$ gcc /tmp/test.c -Wframe-larger-than=128 -c -fsanitize=kernel-address
-O2 --param asan-stack=1
/tmp/test.c:23:13: warning: always_inline function might not be
inlinable [-Wattributes]
static void ltv350qv_write_reg(void) {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/tmp/test.c: In function âltv350qv_power_onâ:
/tmp/test.c:57:1: warning: the frame size of 416 bytes is larger than
128 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
}
