This seems good to me.

 * We know that this function can't be called directly from outside the
  file, because it is static.

 * The function address isn't used as a function pointer anywhere, so
   that means it can't be called from outside the file that way (also
   it's inline, which would make using a function pointer unwise!)

 * There's no obvious macros in that file that might construct the name
   of the function in a way that is hidden from grep.

All in all, I am fairly confident that the function is indeed not used.

Kind regards,
