For the record: I disagree with this. I think a static inline is more readable
than a macro. It is also consistent with other existing i2c subdev drivers since
they all use a static inline as well. And if in rare cases gcc might decide not
to inline this, then so what? You really won't notice any difference. It's an
i2c device, so it's slow as molasses anyway. Readability is much more important
IMHO.
On the other hand, it's not critical enough for me to make a big deal out of
it if this patch is dropped.
