There used to be several offenders, but now that for all of them patches were sent and most of them were applied, enable the warning also for builds without W=1. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Hello, as of v6.10-rc2 there are two known offenders: - drivers/virt/coco/sev-guest/sev-guest.c patch submitted in March, available at https://lore.kernel.org/all/4a81b0e87728a58904283e2d1f18f73abc69c2a1.1711748999.git.u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - drivers/parport/parport_amiga.c fixed in next (commit 73fedc31fed3 ("parport: amiga: Mark driver struct with __refdata to prevent section mismatch")) I tested this patch using allmodconfig builds for arm64, riscv, s390 and x86_64 which didn't expose further drivers with this problem. In my eyes this is good enough to enable the warning for all builds (and not only with W=1).
