Sorry, I'm going to have to disagree with you and your compiler on this.
This is how the code is structured:

#ifdef CONFIG_OMAP_INTERCONNECT_BARRIER
...
static void omap4_mb(void)
{
        if (dram_sync)
                writel_relaxed(0, dram_sync);
}
...
void __init omap_barriers_init(void)
{
...
        soc_mb = omap4_mb;
}

#endif

So, the definition of omap4_mb(), and the use of the same are both
under the same ifdef.  You can't build omap4_mb() without also building
omap_barriers_init() as well.

So, there's no way that omap4_mb() would be "defined but not used".

I think you have some changes in your kernel which, maybe, place an
ifdef around omap_barriers_init() which _would_ cause the warning you're
seeing if they aren't set.

Also, please trim context before the relevant part to which you're
replying. I almost gave up paging down to see whether there was actually
anything worth replying to.  If there's nothing in the first 50 lines of
the message, it's a waste of space.
