Looks like a correct change to me, very nice!

However looking a bit further you will notice that after this is removed,
there is more that becomes unused:

These are in fact the only references to the fiqenable/fiqdisable/fiqpending
callback pointers, so it would be helpful to remove them as well, along with
the stub implementation from 

Is cppcheck something you are working on yourself, or did you pick it up
from someone else? Is it possible to get cppcheck to also find those unused
callback pointers? I assume we have more of them in other code.
