I'm confused. You mean that DO have an inline? Like this:

void foo(void);

#ifdef CONFIG_OF
void bar(void);
#else
static inline void bar(void) {}
#endif

The functions without inlines are ones that drivers should not call
and should only be called from OF enabled code. That's why we have not
done a complete pass of adding inlines for everything.
