I don't have the answer how it exactly works (or which gcc version introduced it), but I tested it and the functions were not present in the object file, thus of course no warnings.
The driver change I am referring to is: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220808174107.38676-15-paul@crapouillou.net/
I think the only difference against your v4 is: DEFINE_SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS and lack of __maybe_unused on the functions.
The DEFINE_SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS itself adds __maybe_unused for !CONFIG_PM case, but I don't think it is relevant.
Best regards, Krzysztof
