I didn't plan to fix everyone's warnings for them. Unfortunately, the
combination of linux-next being infrequent in Oct and kernelci.org
failing to report dtc warnings caused all the warnings started to get
noticed late, so I fixed the noisier cases. The only way anyone pays
attention is when dtc is updated and warnings appear. I've emailed out
warnings in advance before. I've turned off the more subjective ones
by default. Neither seems to get widely noticed (now in reviews
instead of saying "don't do X", I say "don't do X and building with
W=2 will tell you this"). More dtc checks are coming, so I'm open to
suggestions on the process.
