Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] kbuild: allow Clang to find unused static inline
 functions for W=1 build

Just as a sidenote:

>From [PATCH v2] kbuild: enable unused-function warnings for W= build with Clang:

"Per the documentation [1], -Wno-unused-function will also disable
-Wunneeded-internal-declaration, which can help find bugs like
commit 8289c4b6f2e5 ("platform/x86: mlx-platform: Properly use
mlxplat_mlxcpld_msn201x_items"). (pointed out by Nathan Chancellor)
I added -Wunneeded-internal-declaration to address it.

If you contribute to code clean-up, please run "make CC=clang W=1"
and check -Wunused-function warnings. You will find lots of unused
functions."

Isn't that missing in your double?
