Not performance, footprint and header dependencies. You need to pull in all the stuff the inline function needs for everyone including the header that contains this function. That's messy. Even if the instantiation helper should not poke into the device model internals (and I don't want this to change as well), it belongs to the module that implements the device. We do the same with other fabric functions. Jan
