GCC throws out this warning on arm64.

drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/arm-stub.c: In function 'efi_entry':
drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/arm-stub.c:132:22: warning: variable 'si'
set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]

Fix it by making free_screen_info() a static inline function.

Queued for 5.3-rc3. Thanks.

Is this issue caused by the EFI stub being built with non-default
CFLAGS?

The toplevel Makefile specifies -Wno-unused-but-set-variable, which
would silence this warning.

It's debatable whether calling an empty inline function "uses" the
arguments, so I think your patch only silences the warning by accident:
different GCC versions, or clang, might still warn.


I wonder if we're missing any other options that would make sense for
the EFI stub.

[...]
