Hi Thomas,

This applies on top of mips-next or Linus' tree, so you may need to
rebase mips-fixes before taking it.
It's not for mips-next as it should go into this cycle as a [hot]fix.
I haven't added any "Fixes:" tag since these warnings is a result
of merging several sets and of certain build configurations that
almost couldn't be tested separately.
