You should hold off with V2 to give others a chance to comment.

Your commit message does not exactly describe what is happening. The return variable is not unused. More accurately, you have rewritten the routine to always return a constant.

I have not looked at the generated code, but I suspect that gcc is already doing that when it optimizes the code. If you really want to reduce the size of the generated code, there is no reason for this function to be of type uint. It should be type void and not return anything.
