Hi John,
Can you please take a look at this patch?
drivers/net/wireless/wavelan_cs.c has unusually large number
of static inline functions - 27.
I looked through them and 20 of them do not seem to warrant inlining.
Some are really big; others call mdelay(1) or busy-wait for a bit
to be set in a hardware register - it's pointless
to optimize such functions for speed.
This patch removes "inline" from these static function
(regardless of number of callsites - gcc nowadays auto-inlines
statics with one callsite).
Size difference for 32bit x86:
