Personally, I think this would be the viable way to make the kernel free
of W=1 warnings. Make it clean driver and subsystem at a time, with
constant progress. Currently, there's haphazard fixing of issues, with
new ones creeping back in, because kernel-wide W=1 is too verbose for
most developers. It's whac-a-mole.

Or adding -Wno-foo where it breaks, until fixed.

I don't know, is the goal to fix the warnings, or keep adding stuff to
W=1 so that it'll always emit warnings? :p
