Ah, makes sense! I was actually wondering earlier why we need to put
this log in the directory instead of just keeping it in the CLI.

(I definitely won´t admit that the log file annoyed me a few times
because I accidentally included it with 'git add .' and then had to 'git
commit --amend' right after) ;-)

Very useful, thanks!

Yeah, eliminating these warnings at their root is the straightforward
solution.

And that's exactly what Jon expects:

Kernel Recipes 2019 - Kernel documentation: past, present, and future
#Build warnings

It'd certainly be worth spending some time with folks from those
subsystems to get these warnings fixed once and for all.

Absolutely. I did have relatively little experience writing rst before.
But that's definitely no excuse - I'll try to pick it up quickly.

Thanks!
