That was Anders' first proposal, but it was declined by the driver maintainer (me.) See: https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=152588526520326&w=2 __maybe_unused is just a way to prevent the compiler from doing its job. If it's really what you want, you might as well build with -Wno-unused, instead of crippling the code with yet another annotation. I can't see how building unused code only to discard it later can be better than a proper #ifdef which will only build the code when we actually need it. Maybe there are cases where __maybe_unused is actually needed, but in my opinion that should be the last resort option. That's not the case here. -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support
