4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sodagudi Prasad <psodagud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 0a5f41767444cc3b4fc5573921ab914b4f78baaa upstream. Currently, GCC disables -Wunused-const-variable, but not -Wunused-variable, so warns unused variables if they are non-constant. While, Clang does not warn unused variables at all regardless of the const qualifier because -Wno-unused-const-variable is implied by the stronger option -Wno-unused-variable. Disable -Wunused-const-variable instead of -Wunused-variable so that GCC and Clang work in the same way.
