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.

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230811140327.3754597-1-arnd@kernel.org/

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?

That would we awesome!  We'd just need buy-in.
