Commit fa6d79d also introduced the kernel configuration option
CONFIG_SOC_HAS_REALTIME_COUNTER. If this option is not selected then the
a stub function for realtime_counter_init() is defined.

The option CONFIG_SOC_HAS_REALTIME_COUNTER and stub function are not
really needed because ...

1. For non-OMAP5 devices, there is no realtime counter and so
     realtime_counter_init() function is not used.
2. For OMAP5 devices, CONFIG_SOC_HAS_REALTIME_COUNTER is always selected
     and cannot be disabled, so the stub function for
realtime_counter_init()
     is never used.

Fix this warning by removing the kernel configuration option
CONFIG_SOC_HAS_REALTIME_COUNTER and stub function, and only include
the function realtime_counter_init() if CONFIG_SOC_OMAP5 is selected.

The #ifdef was avoided because the real-time counter can be used on
other future SOCs. And the those SOCs just select
SOC_HAS_REALTIME_COUNTER. And that stub was added because OMAP5 can
work without real-time counter configuration enabled using 32K counter.
But since we are any way have that SOC_HAS_REALTIME_COUNTER always
set for SOC which wants to use it, we can actually remove the stub
and hence avoid the warning. Let me know if below patch is ok
with you ? attached the same for mailer issues

In commit fa6d79d (ARM: OMAP: Add initialisation for the real-time
counter), the function realtime_counter_init() was added. However, if
the kernel configuration option CONFIG_SOC_OMAP5 is not selected then
the following compiler warning is observed.

     CC      arch/arm/mach-omap2/timer.o
     arch/arm/mach-omap2/timer.c:489:20: warning: ‘realtime_counter_init’
     defined but not used [-Wunused-function]

It is because of the stub init function which was added for the cases
where realtime_counter_init() is called with
!CONFIG_SOC_HAS_REALTIME_COUNTER.
This is actually not necessary since the SOC which need this feature
will explicitly select the configuration.

So just drop the unused stub to avoid the build warning.

Patch is made after seeing Jon's patch which was wrapping the
real-time counter code under needed SOC #ifdef

Hi Santosh,

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, the above is not enough. If I
disable SOC_OMAP5 and leave SOC_HAS_REALTIME_COUNTER enabled, then I
still see the warning message. So I could see that people could still
hit this with randconfig.

Yes. For the same reason initially, the stub was added.

Understand the desire to make this a selectable configuration, but given
to date only OMAP5 uses it, it was simpler and cleaner just to remove
the option. However, we could keep the option and just do something like ...

I have tested this and this resolves the warning.

Good. Am ok with above additional update.
May be you can add this change on top of my patch
which drops the stub.

Santosh
