My vote for code like this to #if 0 it out.. The reason being is
that this is generic hardware register access, and it's likely that
if it is removed and someone needs it, they'll write their own
instead of dig it out of history, since they might not even realize
that it even existed...
Though can't we annotate it as unused? Since it is static inline, the
compiler should end up not including it in the object.
