@Jonathan:
Please disregard this.
I will re-spin this as a series.
It turned out that the whole thing/changeset is much bigger than I
initially anticipated.

I think I found the reason why we (at ADI) weren't catching the ADIS
warnings/errors, before upstreaming.
It turns out, that we were only testing with ARM & ARM64 compilers, while
the compilers that were hitting us with warnings are x86_64. I do remember
[from past experiences] that different GCC compilers report different
[often valid] types of errors. But, if I don't need to work with too many
ARCHs, I do forget about this aspect.

In any case, I've updated our CI to also include a build-run with x86_64
for all ADI drivers.
And we may also extend this to cover the entire kernel [later].

Thanks
Alex
