I think this was seen with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE, which tends to
ignore inline.

Right, marking those two functions as __always_inline is the other
option. The problem is, if you keep doing it, eventually you end up
with __always_inline-itis spreading all over the place. And it affects
all the other callers, at least in the CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE case.
At least this fix is localized.
But I agree my patch isn't ideal either.
