I sent out a patch in the past to get rid of them [1], but Shaoqin is
currently making an effort to (fix and) use them in their tests [2].
While we are still reviewing the series, we can apply [1] to unblock
enabling -Werror and Shaqoqin can re-introduce the functions as
needed. But, it's your call.

Thank you.
