It shows up with -Wmaybe-uninitialized for GCC but that's disabled for
the normal kernel build with commit 78a5255ffb6a ("Stop the ad-hoc games
with -Wno-maybe-initialized"). With GCC 12:

  drivers/spi/spi-pxa2xx-pci.c: In function ‘mrfld_spi_setup’:

Clang has it under -Wuninitialized, where it was caught with a regular
allmodconfig build:

  drivers/spi/spi-pxa2xx-pci.c:150:15: error: variable 'dma_dev' is uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
    150 |                 pci_dev_put(dma_dev);

Perhaps a KCFLAGS=-Wmaybe-uninitialized in your make command or adding

  subdir-ccflags-$(CONFIG_CC_IS_GCC) := -Wmaybe-uninitialized

to the makefiles of the drivers that you maintain might not be a bad
idea.
