Thanks, perhaps something like this would help:

  Using inline in .h files is fine and is encouraged in place of macros
  [reference section 12].
The other major use of them in headers is for stub functions when an
API implementation has a Kconfig option. The question is, do we really
want to start creating such a list, and have people wanting to add to
it?
Good point. Maybe it is sufficient to just make the distinction
between .c and .h files.
