Static on non-member functions (not from a class) means they are only
accesible withing the same compile unit (.cpp/.c file) IIRC.
It's not really needed for a driver. It's ussualy used to enforce good
programing practices, to restric acces to function that should not be called
from elsewhere, like the private/protected that can be used to member
funtions.
