Seems sensible to me.

Your choice.  Probably a follow up would work best.

Also, the remaining __inline uses would be:

arch/alpha/include/asm/compiler.h:#undef __inline
include/linux/compiler-gcc.h:#define __inline __inline  __attribute__((always_inline,unused)) notrace
include/linux/compiler-gcc.h:#define __inline __inline  __attribute__((unused)) notrace
scripts/checkpatch.pl:our $Inline       = qr{inline|__always_inline|noinline|__inline|__inline__};
scripts/checkpatch.pl:# Check for __inline__ and __inline, prefer inline
scripts/checkpatch.pl:              $line =~ /\b(__inline__|__inline)\b/) {
scripts/checkpatch.pl:                          $fixed[$fixlinenr] =~ s/\b(__inline__|__inline)\b/inline/;
scripts/genksyms/keywords.c:    { "__inline", INLINE_KEYW },
scripts/kernel-doc:    $prototype =~ s/^__inline +//;

So all of these could be removed/updated appropriately too
