Can you share with me the warning messages you get?

I just see the following warnings with linux-next:

$ make CC="ccache gcc" W=1 drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/htt_tx.o
  CC [M]  drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/htt_tx.o
In file included from drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/htt_tx.c:19:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/htt.h:1727:1: warning: alignment 1 of ‘struct ath10k_htt_txbuf_32’ is less than 4 [-Wpacked-not-aligned]
 } __packed;
 ^
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/htt.h:1734:1: warning: alignment 1 of ‘struct ath10k_htt_txbuf_64’ is less than 4 [-Wpacked-not-aligned]
 } __packed;
 ^

In my Makefile I have:

KBUILD_CFLAGS  += $(call cc-option,-Wimplicit-fallthrough=3,)


Thanks
