Maybe we should do another patch for the merge window to remove
the static for flus from all uncompress.h files?

Oops, typo. The subject should have been flush(void) instead of
static(void) :)

There's int(*flush)(void*, unsigned int) in lib/decompress_inflate.c,
and there's static inline void flush(void) in uncompress.h.

As decompress_inflate.c is included into misc.c, then the define
flush() do { } while (0) causes confusion.
