I'd appreciate some more idea of what you're after;  each patch
shows where and when the function was added or last used.  Some have
comments saying things like the devm_ version is being used (so it
seemed reasonable to me to delete the plain version if no one uses it).

For each one I've checked _when_ it was last used and not deleted
anything that's been used in the last few years; I've not deleted
anything which has been recently added or only recently unused.

That level seems to have been fine on the other ~300 clean up 
patches other maintainers have taken; you seem to be after something
different - I'm fine to add that if you can just explain what
you want.

Just point me in the right direction and I can have more of a dig.

Dave
