Rule 20.4 states: "A macro shall not be defined with the same name as a keyword". Defining this macro with the same name as the inline keyword allows for additionally checking that out-of-lined static inline functions end up in the correct section while minimizing churn and has a positive impact on the overall safety. See [1] for additional context on the motivation of this deviation. No functional change.
