People keep trying to remove three functions that are going to be used in a feature that is being developed. Dropping the functions entirely may end up with people trying to use the bit for other uses, as people have tried in the past. Adding __maybe_unused stops compilers complaining about the unused functions so they can be silently optimised out of the compiled code and people won't try to claim the bit for another use.
