The compiler warns about unused variable which makes libsamsung-ril
fails to build on Android 9.

So I had the choice between improving the code by fixing the compiler
warnings, and finding the place in the Android build system where the
compiler does -Werror. I chose the former.

Here this tells the compiler that I'm perfectly aware that both
parameters are not used in the code of the function. 

Here env is used below so it cannot be marked as unused:

And removing the unused parameters is not possible in that particular
case because that RIL_Init is part of the API between the RIL and the
libril implementation: The RIL dlopens the libril implementation and
then calls that function. From rild.c in Replicant 6:
> rilInit = (const RIL_RadioFunctions *(*)(const struct RIL_Env *, int,
>            char **)) dlsym(dlHandle, "RIL_Init");
[...]
> funcs = rilInit(&s_rilEnv, argc, rilArgv);

As for the internal functions, I think it's better to keep consistent
parameters in the functions as it makes the code more simple to
understand.
