I have a patch stack for that, since 2014 or so. I build Linux with
unreleased GCC versions all the time, so pretty much any new warning is
fatal if you unwisely use -Werror.

No. You should patch your program, instead. One easy way is to add a
-Wno-error at the end of your command lines. Or even just -w if you
want or need a bigger hammer.
Or nicer, put it all in Kconfig, like powerpc already has for example.
There is a CONFIG_WERROR as well, so maybe use that in all places?

The new indentation is messed up. And please don't move the existing
early-out to later, it make more sense earlier, the way it was.
