Ok, thanks. I have a backlog of warning fixes in my randconfig
tree, which is currently clean with these warnings addressed, at
least on arm/arm64/x86 and it looks like there are a couple that
I've never sent out so far. I'll drop the above for now, as I
won't have time to send all the fixes before my vacation.

I can provide the ones I have off-list for reference, but there
are a couple that are missing changelog texts or that I'm not
entirely sure about myself.
