I don't have the answer how it exactly works (or which gcc version
introduced it), but I tested it and the functions were not present in
the object file, thus of course no warnings.

The driver change I am referring to is:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220808174107.38676-15-paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

I think the only difference against your v4 is:
DEFINE_SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS
and lack of __maybe_unused on the functions.

The DEFINE_SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS itself adds __maybe_unused for !CONFIG_PM
case, but I don't think it is relevant.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
