[PATCH] misc: cxl: fix build for GCC 4.6.x

From: Brian Norris
Date: Thu Jan 07 2016 - 15:38:47 EST


GCC 4.6.3 does not support -Wno-unused-const-variable. Instead, use the
kbuild infrastructure that checks if this options exists.

Also drop -Werror, since it's harmful, if forced on the user. New GCC's,
or higher warning verbosities (e.g., W=1) can easily kill the build
where they shouldn't.
