Subject: Are patches for warnings in drivers/staging/* worth?

Hi Greg,

I am looking at the various warnings which occur while compiling the 
staging drivers. Most of them are

* unused variables
* arg makes pointer from integer without cast
* un-initialized variable

What in these warnings should I send patches against? Are they worth the 
effort?

Thanks,
Pranith.
