Ok, how about the below?

It still needs this hunk to work:

@@ -33,7 +34,7 @@ warning-1 += $(call cc-disable-warning, format)
 warning-1 += $(call cc-disable-warning, unknown-warning-option)
 warning-1 += $(call cc-disable-warning, sign-compare)
 warning-1 += $(call cc-disable-warning, format-zero-length)
-warning-1 += $(call cc-disable-warning, uninitialized)
+#warning-1 += $(call cc-disable-warning, uninitialized)
 warning-1 += $(call cc-option, -fcatch-undefined-behavior)
 
 warning-2 := -Waggregate-return

but that's another story which is still WIP here:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140616130751.GD8170@xxxxxxx

After it is sorted out, we can do something like the below. (Note:
I'm not filtering out the previous -Wno-maybe-uninitialized from
KBUILD_CFLAGS because it is not necessary - apparently the following
-Wmaybe-uninitialized reenables it again).

This warning is enabled by -Wall or -Wextra, says the gcc manpage. It
also says that gcc cannot always know whether the warning is issued
correctly:

"These warnings are made optional because GCC is not smart enough to see
all the reasons why the code might be correct in spite of appearing to
have an error."

And, as expected, it fires for perfectly valid use cases, thus making it
not really useful. Let's move it to the W=1 bunch in case people want to
enable it with the additional checks.
