So I've upgraded my main build box to Fedora 23, to:

  gcc version 5.3.1 20151207 (Red Hat 5.3.1-2) (GCC)
  GNU assembler version 2.25 (x86_64-redhat-linux) using BFD version version 2.25-15.fc23
  GNU ld version 2.25-15.fc23

and I'm now getting a bunch of these warnings:

I see nothing particularly weird about rtlwifi_rate_mapping(), except the tons of 
switch statements - maybe GCC does something really clever here?

In any case this needs to be addressed before the merge window. Also, I think we 
should limit the number of objtool warnings to one per function?

Thanks,
