This will silence the warning, but will do it for all future cases of unused
ys too - in other words, it may well silence even useful, valid warnings.
Also, this introduces an inconsistency among COMPXSP, COMPYSP, and COMPZSP
macros.

A better solution would be to reduce the scope of ys, so that it is always
used, if declared. Instead of this code segment (in arch/mips/math-emu/sp_fdp.c):

union ieee754sp ieee754sp_fdp(union ieee754dp x)
{
	union ieee754sp y;
	u32 rm;

	COMPXDP;
	COMPYSP;

	EXPLODEXDP;

	ieee754_clearcx();

	FLUSHXDP;

	switch (xc) {
	case IEEE754_CLASS_SNAN:
		x = ieee754dp_nanxcpt(x);
		EXPLODEXDP;
		/* Fall through.  */
	case IEEE754_CLASS_QNAN:
		y = ieee754sp_nan_fdp(xs, xm);
		if (!ieee754_csr.nan2008) {
			EXPLODEYSP;
			if (!ieee754_class_nan(yc))
				y = ieee754sp_indef();
		}
		return y;


.. should be the following: (COMPYSP is moved to a smaller code block)

union ieee754sp ieee754sp_fdp(union ieee754dp x)
{
	union ieee754sp y;
	u32 rm;

	COMPXDP;	

	EXPLODEXDP;

	ieee754_clearcx();

	FLUSHXDP;

	switch (xc) {
	case IEEE754_CLASS_SNAN:
		x = ieee754dp_nanxcpt(x);
		EXPLODEXDP;
		/* Fall through.  */
	case IEEE754_CLASS_QNAN:
		{
			COMPYSP;

			y = ieee754sp_nan_fdp(xs, xm);
			if (!ieee754_csr.nan2008) {
				EXPLODEYSP;
				if (!ieee754_class_nan(yc))
					y = ieee754sp_indef();
			}
			return y;
		}
