Re: [PATCH] powerpc/powernv: fix a W=1 compilation warning

I saw Christ start to remove npu-dma.c code [1]

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20190625145239.2759-4-hch@xxxxxx/

Should pnv_npu_dma_set_32() be removed too?

It was only called by pnv_npu_try_dma_set_bypass() but the later is not used
anywhere in the kernel tree. If that is a case, I don't need to bother fixing
the warning here.
