That's the abstract instance of the inlined subprogram. You might
notice that it has a DW_AT_inline attribute, and nothing else.
This DIE is there as the parent for the DIE(s) that represent
the instance(s) where the function was actually inlined:

 <2><1547>: Abbrev Number: 4 (DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine)
    <1548>   DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x1526>
    <154c>   DW_AT_low_pc      : 0x402552
    <1554>   DW_AT_high_pc     : 0x2b
    <155c>   DW_AT_call_file   : 1
    <155d>   DW_AT_call_line   : 5

This DIE is the one that represents one concrete instance
of the inlined function. You can see that it has a
DW_AT_abstract_origin attribute which points to the abstract
instance (so we can "inherit" some of the attributes that
are common to all concrete instances), and then the attributes
specific to this inlined instance, such as location, and
more important of all, the low/high_pc.
