'status' is used to interact with a hardware register.  It might not
be safe to remove it entirely.  Mark it as __maybe_unused instead.

Hi Lee

https://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg365875.html

I'm working on driver/net/ethernet and net to make it w=1 clean.  I
suggest you hang out on the netdev mailing list so you don't waste
your time reproducing what i am doing.

I believe that ship has sailed.  Net should be clean now.

drivers/net is getting better, but is not clean. I have some patches
from Arnd which allow W=1 to be enabled by default for subdirectories,
and i have to skip a few. Also net, not driver/net has problems, which
i'm working on. I hope Arnd will post his patches soon, so we can get
them merged and prevent regressions with W=1.

Maybe that was down to some of your previous efforts? 

And Jakub running a bot which compile tests all new patches with W=1.
