This set is part of a larger effort attempting to clean-up W=1
kernel builds, which are currently overwhelmingly riddled with
niggly little warnings.

The next question is, how do we keep it W=1 clean going forward?

My plan was to fix them all, then move each warning to W=0.

Arnd recently submitted a set doing just that for a bunch of them.

I like to think a bunch of this is built on top of my previous efforts.

GPU is a particularly tricky though - the warnings seem to come in faster
than I can squash them.  Maybe the maintainers can find a way to test
new patches on merge?

I guess on that note, do you know if there is a way to run
`scripts/kernel-doc` on patches instead of whole files? That would make
much easier to block new kernel-doc issues from appearing.

Not off hand.

When I run builds on patches I author, I run them twice concurrently.
Once on the commit I'm basing on and once on the HEAD of my patchset.  I
then diff the two.  So as long as the number of errors and warnings stay
the same or reduce, we're golden.

Perhaps the same method could be used with `kernel-doc`?
