Oh, I'm absolutely not suggesting this should be merged before known
warnings have been addressed one way or another. Either by fixing them
or by disabling said warning in driver local Makefiles, depending on the
case.

While I'm suggesting this, I obviously (I hope) can't take on fixing all
the warnings this exposes. One way to scale would be for folks to apply
this locally, see what it uncovers in their drivers, and fix some.

As an intermediate step we might also apply this to a topic branch in
drm-tip, so you'd see the warnings when building drm-tip, but not in
indidual branches or in anything that's merged upstream.

BR,
Jani.
