Seems soo. It semi works now.
"make W=1" is broken for reasons that is not related to this patch - will submit
a fix in a minute for that.

So you can add:
Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Tested-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

on the patch.

And if you really want to make me happy then you add a comment about _why_
we disable the warning.

Something like:

# This warning generated too much noise in a regular build.
# Use make W=1 to enable this warning (see scripts/Makefile.build)
+KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-option, -Wno-unused-but-set-variable)
+
 ifdef CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER
