Perhaps these are simpler as

#define __inline__    inline
#define __inline      inline

Currently, there are these uses of inline variants in the kernel

$ git grep -w inline | wc -l
68410
$ git grep -w __inline__ | wc -l
503
$ git grep -w __inline | wc -l
57

So it seems it's also reasonable to sed all uses of __inline to inline
and perhaps remove __inline eventually altogether.
(perhaps there are still too many __inline__ uses)

Yeah, that sounds good. Should I split that into 3 patches:

Excluding scripts and a few other files,
here's a possible patch done with:

$ git grep -w --name-only __inline | \
  grep -vP '^(?:arch/alpha/|include/|scripts/)' | \
  xargs sed -r -i -e 's/\b__inline\b/inline/g' \
                  -e 's/\binline\s+static\b/static inline/g'

1 for documentation, 1 for rtl8723bs, 1 for zstd?

Seems sensible to me.

Follow up set or include in v3?

Your choice.  Probably a follow up would work best.

Also, the remaining __inline uses would be:

arch/alpha/include/asm/compiler.h:#undef __inline
include/linux/compiler-gcc.h:#define __inline __inline  __attribute__((always_inline,unused)) notrace
include/linux/compiler-gcc.h:#define __inline __inline  __attribute__((unused)) notrace
scripts/checkpatch.pl:our $Inline       = qr{inline|__always_inline|noinline|__inline|__inline__};
scripts/checkpatch.pl:# Check for __inline__ and __inline, prefer inline
scripts/checkpatch.pl:              $line =~ /\b(__inline__|__inline)\b/) {
scripts/checkpatch.pl:                          $fixed[$fixlinenr] =~ s/\b(__inline__|__inline)\b/inline/;
scripts/genksyms/keywords.c:    { "__inline", INLINE_KEYW },
scripts/kernel-doc:    $prototype =~ s/^__inline +//;

So all of these could be removed/updated appropriately too
