regex and some bash:

for f in $(sed -n '/static inline [^(]*$/N;s@...tic inline.*[^_a-z0-9A-Z]\([_a-z0-9A-Z]*\)([a-z_].*@\1@p' $(find include/ -type f) ); do cnt=$(git grep $f | wc -l); [ $cnt -le 1 ] && echo $f >> single; done

takes too long to run to put it in a CI directly, unfortunately, 
more intelligence would be needed. Luckily there isn't that many
instances throughout netdev and bpf so perhaps not even worth 
the hassle.
