can be consider lwmi_events_un/register_notifier as static
if they are wrapper func?
I do think it's unlikely these would be used externally, but this pattern is consistent with other drivers with this type of function. TBS I'm not tied to one solution if there are objections to it one way or the other.
Hi,
please only make private functions static. Public functions should remain non-static.

why devm_lwmi_events_unregister_notifier not here ?
devm_lwmi_events_unregister_notifier is static as it's automatically added as a removal action during registration. It wouldn't be used directly.
I agree, most drivers have no need for such a function.
