The last such warnings are fixed now, so the option can be enabled by default.

What about line #43 in this file?
Citing 40-43 below:
# These warnings generated too much noise in a regular build.
# Use make W=1 to enable them (see scripts/Makefile.extrawarn)
KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-disable-warning, unused-but-set-variable)

I sent a patch to simplify this earlier, the -Wunused-const-variable
series is based on that, but I kept it separate since I think the
33 patches will take a couple of revisions while the first series
should make it into v6.10:

Arnd, can you refresh this one? It seems some misses still...
I have got 3+ 0-day reports against one of the mux drivers.
