I'm not sure these can be static inline since the symbols are exported for use outside this file. However, in theory I have no objection from a performance standpoint. Since my devices don't have such strict realtime requirements as your 74x164 application, I'll defer this decision to someone more knowledgeable in this area; perhaps someone else can comment in this thread with their advice and suggestions.
