Subject: [PATCH v2 11/11] Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warnings by default

Previously the warnings were added back at the W=1 level and above,
this now turns them on again by default, assuming that we have addressed
all warnings and again have a clean build for v4.10.

I found a number of new warnings in linux-next already and submitted
bugfixes for those. Hopefully they are caught by the 0day builder
in the future as soon as this patch is merged.

Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

Please check if there are any remaining warnings with this
patch before applying.

The one known issue right now is commit 32cb7d27e65d ("iio:
maxim_thermocouple: detect invalid storage size in read()"), which
is currently in linux-next but not yet in mainline.

There are a couple of warnings that I get with randconfig builds,
and I have submitted patches for all of them at some point and
will follow up on them to make sure they get addressed eventually.
