As you said, both caamalg.c and caamhash.c use those functions, so no 
warning reported.

But if a new file just wants to include "sg_sw_sec4.h", doesn't want to 
use these functions, the above warnings will appear.

We can find an example in Freescale SDK 1.6:
caampkc.c includes pkc_desc.h, pkc_desc.h includes sg_sw_sec4.h, but 
caampkc.c doesn't call those functions.

Without my patch, every file which includes sg_sw_sec4.h must call these 
two functions in the future, I don't think it is a good idea.

Thanks!
