Hundreds of new warnings in the allyesconfig builds. Well, duh. Maybe they shouldn't be marked "inline", and maybe they should be marked with "__maybe_unused" instead. I do not think it makes sense to use "inline" as a way to say "maybe I won't use this function". Yes, it's true that "static inline" won't warn, but hey, as a way to avoid a warning it's a pretty bad one.
