See Documentation/CodingStyle about inline.

I think, generally, it's better not to use inline at all in normal
functions. Let the compiler decide. Even more so with funcs like
da8xx_fb_is_raster_enabled(), which I guess is only used rarely.

There are some inlines added in other patches in the series also.

I have added a new patch to the update series that removes the use of
inline from all offending places.
