No. This is supposed to be passed on as a call back function pointer for the APIs. Having it as a static inline, would simply replicate the same function through the driver subsystems, which is one of the issues that series is trying to solve. Also, by having them exported, we can convert the new specialized device lookup functions, *_find_device_by_<property> to be static inlines. Suzuki
