Earlier, it was introduced in just the same way by Jan-Simon as part of 3d3d6b847420 ("kbuild: LLVMLinux: Adapt warnings for compilation with clang"). The new patch looks good to me, please add Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann Fixes: 26ea6bb1fef0 ("kbuild, LLVMLinux: Supress warnings unless W=1-3") I've started looking into building the kernel with clang, and will likely follow up with further unrelated changes to the list, as clang-3.9 seems to generate a couple of extra warnings we want to suppress.
