This commit is to avoid the below warnings:

I'm not seeing these warnings - both caamalg.c and caamhash.c use
those functions fine.
As you said, both caamalg.c and caamhash.c use those functions, so no
warning reported.
But if a new file just wants to include "sg_sw_sec4.h", doesn't want
to use these functions, the above warnings will appear.
We can find an example in Freescale SDK 1.6:
caampkc.c includes pkc_desc.h, pkc_desc.h includes sg_sw_sec4.h, but
caampkc.c doesn't call those functions.
Without my patch, every file which includes sg_sw_sec4.h must call
these two functions in the future, I don't think it is a good idea.
Thanks!

-static int dma_map_sg_chained(struct device *dev, struct
scatterlist *sg,
+static inline int dma_map_sg_chained(struct device *dev, struct
scatterlist *sg,
unsigned int nents, enum dma_data_direction dir,
bool chained)
not to mention this isn't how to fix a defined but not used warning:
marking the functions inline results in different compiler output.
NACK from me.
An alternative is moving the definitions to a ".c" file, but I don't
think it will be fundamental different.
I know I am fixing a potential error which doesn't exist now, it seems
useless for the current upstream version, we can abandon my patch. But I
still think the current implementation adds unnecessary restrictions for
its users.
Thanks!
