As suggested by Sebastian, I delete it, after checking whether it's really been not called anywhere in the current file, and outside it. Most of the functions that I'm talking about right now are static, or supposed to be static.</span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color:

So, ultimately I have to delete these static functions who are inter-related(calling each other), in order to remove the warnings. Currently I was trying my hand on i386 pc386 BSP, where I encountered this thing. </div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">I really don't know whether deleting these multiple inter-related static functions is the right way to
go or a horribly wrong one.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Hoping to hear soon.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Regards</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span style="background-color:transparent;line-height:1.22;">Vipul Nayyar </span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
