Hi Jon and Masahiro,

Just as a heads up, this introduces a ton of warnings (duh). Isn't the
typical plan behind turning on warnings that were disabled to build with
'W=', fix them all, then turn them on so as not to pollute the build?

Log file: https://gist.github.com/443db156e56cd3c0f6b21d9d77728d80

Note a big chunk of them come from one scnprintf call in
include/linux/usb/wusb.h but still, there are many other warnings that
make quite a bit of noise. Some seem relatively easy to fix, which I
suppose I will try to tackle soon.

Thanks,
Nathan
