OK, i will remove the "inline". I've just used it, because it's also
in the hdlc_fr.c and hdlc_cisco.c code.

Well, I thought I have to increment the version to keep the kernel code
and the sethdlc utility in sync (like the comment says).

I could also try to implement it without incrementing the version by
looking at ifr_settings.size and using the former defaults if the size
doesn't match.
