I think in general the build system lacks proper support for subsystems
or drivers being ahead of the curve in keeping them W=1 or kernel-doc
-Wall clean.
We hack around this in parts of drm Makefiles, and it really has helped
to keep the kernel-doc and W=1 breakage/fix churn down. But it's not
pretty.
