Indeed, the unused functions s3c_hsotg_{,un}map_dma() are still there,
but the calls to them have been optimized away.

Marking s3c_hsotg_{,un}map_dma() inline fixes that. I'll send a new patch
doing that, as it's a bit silly to require "depends on HAS_DMA" for a driver
which has DMA disabled.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
