Heh, I was just going to reply citing the same commit.

I occasionally build with clang myself, and we do enable most W=1 by
default in the drm subsystem, so I was wondering why I hadn't hit
this. The crucial difference is that we lack -DKBUILD_EXTRA_WARN1 which
W=1 adds.

I see there's no subdir-cppflags-y, but I don't see any harm in us
adding -Wundef and -DKBUILD_EXTRA_WARN1 to subdir-ccflags-y. After we
fix the fallout, of course. Do you?

I don't much like the __maybe_unused stuff, but I guess it's fine as a
stopgap measure, and then we can grep for that when running out of
things to do. :p

The TL;DR is,
