This should go in the block higher up (see line 739) that already
exists for CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG.

Probably should split this patch into:
1. Makefile and scripts/Makefile.extrawarn hunks
2. hunks for each other file that can be applied individually (as
makes sense for the maintainers' trees).

copy+pasta? Should this be:
warning-1 += ...

further, there's a block at the end of this file already for
CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG that this should go in. Unlike the rest of the
items there, you SHOULD keep the call to cc-option since older
versions of Clang won't support the warning.

Thanks for the patch!
