Exactly.  This is what spurred me on in the first place.  I really
wanted to build my own subsytems with W=1, but due to the very many
spurious build warnings I was forced to avoid them.  Once I fixed my
own, I thought "why not fix others", and here we are.

Backlight, MFD, PWM, USB, Misc, Regulator, GPIO, ASoC and MMC are all
clean.  Now it's SCSI's turn.

Great.  Watch this space.
