What I mean is just compile the .o file with and without the unlikely().

$ md5sum drivers/net/ethernet/ti/icssg/icssg_common.o*
2de875935222b9ecd8483e61848c4fc9 drivers/net/ethernet/ti/icssg/icssg_common.o.annotation
2de875935222b9ecd8483e61848c4fc9 drivers/net/ethernet/ti/icssg/icssg_common.o.no_anotation

Generally the rule is that you should leave likely/unlikely() annotations
out unless it's going to make a difference on a benchmark. I'm not going
to jump down people's throat about this, and if you want to leave it,
it's fine. But it just struct me as weird so that's why I commented on
it.
