Yes, I would say this is a perfectly fine solution. The warning is there
to make you consider if you have forgotten to use or remove a function
depending on the context and if this is expected behavior, silencing the
compiler with the __maybe_unused attribute is the right thing to do. The
kernel does this for resume and suspend functions as CONFIG_PM might not
be set.
Cheers,
Nathan
