Sorry for any ugliness - its my fault.  I personally don't think it really

"gcc -Wunused-parameter"

It's true that the kernel doesn't compile with that option but I've gotten
in the habit of adding the "(void) x;" from working on other projects that
do.  I think it's pretty harmless.

Yes, that would probably be (a bit) cleaner.  That's what we already
use for lanai_proc_read if !CONFIG_PROC_FS
