It seems like something like that is the right real solution here, but
I guess someone needs to step up and work on it.

...in general I'm wary of any patch that will not work when
"clk_ignore_unused" is passed as a command line parameter.  It's
useful to be able to use this command line parameter for debugging
sometimes and it would be unfortunate if doing so spewed a bunch of
extra warnings.


On a side node, it appears that even without ${SUBJECT} patch the
warnings seem to have gone away with the latest stack of patches I've
been testing.  The warnings don't even come back with
"clk_ignore_unused".  I haven't personally dug into why, but I figured
I'd mention it.
