While for the original library's purposes these functions of course want to be externally exposed, we don't need this, and we also don't want this both to prevent unintended use and to keep the name space tidy. (When functions have no callers at all, wrap them with a suitable #ifdef.) This has the added benefit of reducing the resulting binary size - while this is all .init code, it's still desirable to not carry dead code.
So why do we keep the code if it is not used? Do you expect it to be re-used in the future?
