Then maybe add a "choice" Kconfig option in a way that both allyesconfig
as well as allnoconfig will build?

I think it would be easier to remove the config option entirely on s390
and just always warn. As I said earlier in this thread, I generally
don't think this particular warning is more important than a lot of
the other ones that we don't turn into errors.

I disagree: a default kernel build should compile without the noise of
tens of false positive warnings.
Nobody would look at new warnings and fix possible bugs.
That's why I want to have an option to turn the warnings off (default).

Or are you volunteering to "fix" all the false positives? :)

If you don't want to see the warnings, then just remove the strict checks.
We already concluded that there is little value in them on s390 since it only
shows false postives.

Maybe the easiest way would be to rename the option on s390 and move all
the other ones into a common place.
