Subject: [PATCH] module: silence warning about unused 'no_warn' variable
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>
The sysfs_create_link() return code is marked as __must_check, but the
module_add_driver() function tries hard to not care, by assigning the
return code to a variable. When building with 'make W=1', gcc still
warns because this variable is only assigned but not used:
drivers/base/module.c: In function 'module_add_driver':
drivers/base/module.c:36:6: warning: variable 'no_warn' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
Add an explicit cast to void to prevent this check as well.

I'm not entirely sure what bug the __must_check on sysfs_create_link()
is trying to prevent, or why the module loader code is allowed to
ignore this. It would be nice to have an Ack from the sysfs maintainers
on this.
