The case I have in mind is that, some API level header file include some internal header file for constant defines. For example: drivers/ieee1394/host.h include drivers/ieee1394/csr.h. The "csr.h" is just the register define. It is not used in this header file itself. I did not check very closely, for augments sake pretend those inline function are not there. It just have register defines. Should the C program changed to include "csr.h" directly? I don't think so.
