Why are they "useless"?

They seem useful to me, especially as it causes the code to fall out of
the function at the bottom, and not in the middle, which makes
maintaining the code easier to do over time, right?

And did this actually cause any generated code to be
faster/smaller/better?

Oh, and you seem to have messed up a bit of whitespace, please always
run your patches through scripts/checkpatch.pl first.

thanks,
