ssi_protocol.h is not included by the ssi (controller) driver, so
that will not fix the warning.

Yes it is and the code contains a^W lots of FIXME about this. I have
not yet tried to remove it as suggested in the FIXME (which predates
my maintenance, but it's probably not possible without modifying the
modem FW).

I'm fine with adding it the function prototype to hsi.h to fix the
warning, but please add a comment, that it's a layering violation
and should not be used.
