Right:

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/topology.c:62:5: warning: no previous prototype for ‘detect_extended_topology_early’ [-Wmissing-prototypes]
   62 | int detect_extended_topology_early(struct cpuinfo_x86 *c)
      |     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That one is already unused after this one - might zap it here.
