We get 1 warning when biuld kernel with W=1:
drivers/isdn/hardware/mISDN/w6692.c:851:6: warning: no previous prototype for 'initW6692' [-Wmissing-prototypes]

In fact, this function is only used in the file in which it is declared
and don't need a declaration, but can be made static.
so this patch marks it 'static'.

The patch looks good, but now you have sent two different patches with the same subject
line. Since this is just one driver and each instance is a trivial change, I'd suggest
doing a single combined patch for them.

Similarly, when you have multiple patches within one subsystem (e.g. two different scsi
drivers), it helps to have a series of patches as you did with the ASoC patches.
