Smatch complains about this function: drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/eswitch.c:2000 mlx5_esw_unlock() warn: inconsistent returns '&esw->mode_lock'. Before commit ec2fa47d7b98 ("net/mlx5: Lag, use lag lock") there used to be a matching mlx5_esw_lock() function and the lock and unlock functions were symmetric. But now we take the long unconditionally and must unlock unconditionally as well. As near as I can tell this is dead code and can just be deleted.
