That function keeps haunting me in different ways ...

I suspect this was a build with CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST=y. The driver is
compiled for such a config and has the actual implementation, however
the header defines the static inline unless CONFIG_USB_ONBOARD_HUB=y/m.

I realized earlier that the driver doesn't really need to include the
header, and planned to remove it in the next version, which might be
the most practical solution.
