Mark functions as static in bpctl_mod.c because they are not used outside this file. Remove unused function from bpctl_mod.c. This also eliminates the following warnings from bpctl_mod.c: drivers/staging/silicom/bpctl_mod.c:1507:6: warning: no previous prototype for ‘send_bypass_clear_pulse’ [-Wmissing-prototypes] drivers/staging/silicom/bpctl_mod.c:1762:5: warning: no previous prototype for ‘cmnd_on’ [-Wmissing-prototypes] drivers/staging/silicom/bpctl_mod.c:1779:5: warning: no previous prototype for ‘cmnd_off’ [-Wmissing-prototypes] ...

Theory of Operation: The Silicom Bypass Network Interface Cards (NICs) are network cards with paired ports (2 or 4). The pairs either act as a "wire" allowing the network packets to pass or insert the device in between the two ports. When paired with the on-board hardware watchdog or other failsafe, they provide high availability for the network in the face of software outages or maintenance. The software requirements are for a kernel level driver that interfaces with the bypass and watchdog, as well as for control software. User control can be either the provided standalone executable (/bin/bpctl) or the API exposed by the Silicom library.
