Personally, I would keep that function, and just remove the body. I
believe that even though it currently doesn't have to do anything, it
provides documentation for where any required cleanup would be placed if
needed in the future.

If you still want to remove the function, pinconf_free_setting() should
also be removed, since that's empty right now.
