Obviously I could do it here, but I *really* think it is
procedurally a really bad idea to change the case as part of a
functional change. I thought I was doing a favor my at least making
them inlines, but prehaps not.

It is never a good idea to allow functions to have all caps
names and vice versa.  Please don't use "difficulty" as a reason
to violate this.

Doing things right is sometimes hard, I'm sorry to inform you :)

Anyone want to take on changing the upper case static inlines in
mcf8390, 7990, benet, ns83820, s2io, vxge, iwlwifi, ath9k, wil6210,
mwifiex, and rtlwifi? And those are just under drivers/net.

Sorry the "crap exists elsewhere, therefore I can make crap too"
argument never holds any water.

Just because crap exists elsewhere, doesn't mean you should duplicate it.
